# The New Yorker

> Extracted from [https://www.newyorker.com/](https://www.newyorker.com/) 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

The New Yorker uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a palette led by #0879BF. Type is set in **TNY Adobe Caslon Pro**, **Irvin Heading Pro** (display), **Graphik** (ui), with 17px body text. Layout: 1312px container, top-static navigation, 18 sections. Built with react, google-tag-manager, cloudfront.

## 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` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | bg | 71.1% | `--color-surface` |
| `on-surface` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | text | 12.7% | `--color-text` |

Contrast: text on background 21:1, muted text 12.63:1, accent 4.67:1.

Declared in `@font-face` but not used to paint text on this page: Lato, Lora, Adobe Caslon, Irvin Heading, Neutra Face. Don't treat these as the page's fonts.

Scale (px): 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 20, 21, 22, 28, 36. Effective ratio ≈ 1.162 (close to a major second). Body 17px at line-height 1.412; display 36px with tracking 0em. Headings are title case. On a 390px viewport the body is 17px and display 28px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 8px base unit; the most used steps are 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 56, 64px. Sections open with about 73px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1312px container on a 12-column grid. Text density 0.078 (text area / page area).

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

1. **hero** — “Jensen Huang, Nvidia, and the A.I. Revolution” (1073px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **section** — “Today’s Mix” (1424px, bg #FFFFFF)
3. **section** — “The Lede” (1647px, bg #FFFFFF)
4. **section** (104px, bg #FFFFFF)
5. **section** — “Gift Guides” (1400px, bg #FFFFFF)

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 4px; radii in use: 4px, 16px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#0879BF` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 0.06% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in TNY Adobe Caslon Pro at 17px / 1.412.
- Do use Irvin Heading Pro only for display sizes, not for body text.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 500, 600.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at 4px for most controls, and use the larger radii only for cards and media.
- Do snap spacing to multiples of 8px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
