# Linear

> Extracted from [https://linear.app/](https://linear.app/) on 2026-11-12 by Emblematic. Every value below was read from the rendered DOM (computed styles, `document.fonts`, and the fonts Chrome actually used to paint text), not estimated from pixels. When the YAML front matter and this prose disagree, the YAML wins. Copy values from this file exactly; don't transcribe them from memory. Don't copy logos, imagery, illustrations or marketing copy.

## Overview

Linear uses a dark canvas (#08090A) with a palette. Type is set in **Inter** (display + body), **Berkeley Mono** (mono), with 15px body text. Layout: 1344px container, top-fixed+blur+transparent navigation, 10 sections. Built with next.js, intercom, cloudflare.

## Colors

Area-weighted from painted backgrounds, text and borders on the 1440px light capture. Roles are inferred from usage (largest background, most text, interactive fills). Every hex is an exact computed value; a role marked *unverified* is a best guess that has not passed review, so its canonical token (e.g. `primary`) is left out of the front matter.

| Token | Hex | OKLCH | Role | Share of paint | CSS variable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `background` | `#08090A` | 0.139 0.003 246.3 | bg | 59.0% | `--color-bg-primary` |
| `surface` | `#0F1011` | 0.172 0.003 248 | surface | 24.3% | `--color-bg-panel` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#8A8F98` | 0.649 0.015 262.4 | muted | 2.8% | `--color-fg-tertiary` |
| `on-surface` | `#F7F8F8` | 0.978 0.001 197.1 | text | 2.8% | `--color-fg-primary` |
| `outline` | `#FFFFFF14` (on bg `#1C1D1E`) | 1 0 0 | border | 3.5% | `--header-border` |
| `button-invert-bg` | `#E5E5E6` | 0.922 0.001 286.4 | accent *(unverified)* | 0.09% | `--color-button-invert-bg` |

| `fg-quaternary` | `#62666D` | 0.509 0.012 261.8 | other | 0.60% | `--color-fg-quaternary` |
| `color-10` | `#08090A80` (on bg `#08090A`) | 0.139 0.003 246.3 | other | 0.47% | — |
| `scrollbar-color-active` | `#FFFFFF66` (on bg `#6B6B6C`) | 1 0 0 | other | 0.36% | `--scrollbar-color-active` |

| `black` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | other | 0.21% | `--color-black` |

**Accent not verified.** The best candidate is `#E5E5E6` (monochrome page; fill of the primary button; sparse chromatic highlights: #00B8CC, #27A644, confidence 0.62). Treat it as a guess until reviewed.

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#00B8CC` (`--color-teal`), `#27A644` (`--color-green`).

Declared brand/accent tokens: `--color-accent` = `#7170FF` (declared, not painted on this page), `--color-brand-bg` = `#5E6AD2`, `--color-link-primary` = `#828FFF` (declared, not painted on this page).

Contrast: text on background 18.73:1, muted text 6.13:1.

Gradients in use: `radial-gradient(52.53% 57.5% at 50% 100%, rgba(8, 9, 10, 0) 0%, rgba(8, 9, 10, 0.5) 100%), linear-gradient(rgb(8, 9, 10) 10%, rgb(208, 214, `; `linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4) 0%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4) 100%), linear-gradient(rgb(178, 213, 255) 0%, rgb(223, 209, 255)`.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Inter** (CSS: `Inter Variable`) | display, body | 300, 400, 510 | 91.8% | webfont |
| **Berkeley Mono** | mono | 400 | 8.2% | webfont |

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Tiempos Headline. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 24, 32, 48, 64, 72. Effective ratio ≈ 1.251 (close to a major third). Body 15px at line-height 1.6; display 72px with tracking -0.022em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 15px and display 38px.

## Layout

Spacing has no reliable single base unit; the most used steps are 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, 32px. Sections open with about 266px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1344px container on a 2-column grid. Text density 0.106 (text area / page area).

Section order (desktop). Kinds below the review threshold are shown as *section*:

1. **nav** (73px, bg #08090A)
2. **hero** — “system for teams and agents The product development” (1222px, bg #08090A)
3. **section** — “Purpose-built for modern teams with AI workflows at its core, Linear sets a new ” (1049px, bg #08090A)
4. **section** — “Intake and integrations” (1300px, bg #08090A)
5. **section** — “Planning and monitoring” (1239px, bg #08090A)
6. **section** — “AI and automations” (1242px, bg #08090A)
7. **section** — “Build, review, and ship” (1230px, bg #08090A)
8. **section** — “Changelog” (1364px, bg #08090A)
9. **section** — “Built for the future. Available today.” (524px, bg #08090A)
10. **footer** — “Connect” (748px, bg #08090A)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: subtle. Most used shadows:

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 12px 0px inset`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) 0px 2px 32px 0px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.01) 0px 5px 2px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04) 0px 3px 2px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.07) 0px 1px 1px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08) 0px 0px 1px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius is a full pill; radii in use: 2px, 4px, 8px, 9px, 12px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#E5E5E6`, textColor `#08090A`, rounded `9999px`, padding `0px 12px`, height `32px`, fontFamily `Inter`, fontSize `13px`, fontWeight `510`, border `1px solid #E5E5E6`, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 8px 2px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.01) 0px 5px 2px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.04) 0px 3px 2px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0` (e.g. “Sign up”)
- **button-secondary**: textColor `#D0D6E0`, rounded `9999px`, padding `0px 11px`, height `24px`, fontFamily `Inter`, fontSize `12px`, fontWeight `400`, border `1px solid #2E2E32` (e.g. “Performance”)
- **card**: rounded `12px`, padding `0px`, backgroundColor `#0F1011`, border `1px solid #FFFFFF1F`, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) 0px 2px 32px 0px`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do set body copy in Inter at 15px / 1.6.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.022em at 72px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 300, 400, 510.
- Do keep corners at pill for most controls, and use the larger radii only for cards and media.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
