# Play

> Extracted from [https://play.date/](https://play.date/) 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

Play uses a light canvas (#FFC500) with a palette. Type is set in **Roobert** (display + body), with 18.5px body text. Layout: 800px container, top-fixed+transparent navigation, 18 sections. Built with three.js, 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` | `#FFC500` | 0.852 0.174 87.1 | bg | 30.0% | `--accent` |

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#7700FF` (`--bright`).

Contrast: text on background 8.46:1, accent 1:1.

Gradients in use: `url("https://play.date/static/images/nowebgl-demo2.ffd651921de6.png"), radial-gradient(rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5) 0px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) `; `linear-gradient(rgb(148, 0, 255), rgb(92, 0, 255))`.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Roobert** | display, body | 400, 700, 800 | 99.9% | webfont |

Scale (px): 18.5, 21.5, 22, 24, 28.5, 33.5, 34, 51.5, 57, 68.5. Effective ratio ≈ 1.157 (close to a major second). Body 18.5px at line-height normal; display 68.4px with tracking 0em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 13.5px and display 32.76px.

## Layout

Spacing has no reliable single base unit; the most used steps are 2.5, 3, 5.5, 9.5, 10, 10.5, 13, 14.5, 18.5, 20, 24, 28.5, 30, 40px. Sections open with about 60px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 800px container on a 3-column grid. Text density 0.118 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (59px, bg #788086)
2. **hero** (1008px, bg #788086)
3. **section** (591px, bg #788086)
4. **section** — “The System.” (568px, bg #FFC500)
5. **section** — “The Design.” (1329px, bg #FFC500)
6. **section** — “The Crank.” (2842px, bg #FFC500)
7. **section** — “Catalog” (1037px, bg #EFEFEF)
8. **section** — “Your games?” (907px, bg #FFC500)
9. **section** — “Big Screen Optional.” (884px, bg #FFC500)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: flat. Most used shadows:

- `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6) 0px 2.5365px 2.5365px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0px -2.5365px 4.0584px 0px inset, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3) 0px -0.5073px 25.365px 0px inset, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4) 0px 2.5365px 5.073px 0px`

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 3px; radii in use: 2px, 3px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **card**: rounded `2.9px`, padding `0px`, backgroundColor `#E9E4D9`, border `1px solid #312F27`
- **input**: rounded `37.3px`, height `28.7px`, padding `2.3px 4.7px`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do set body copy in Roobert at 18.5px.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 700, 800.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at 3px 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.
