# Retool

> Extracted from [https://retool.com/](https://retool.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

Retool uses a dark canvas (#151515) with a palette led by #D9D9D9. Type is set in **Saans Font** (display + body), with 16px body text. Layout: 640px container, top-fixed+transparent navigation, 9 sections. Built with next.js, tailwind, sanity, hubspot, google-tag-manager, vercel.

## 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.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Saans Font** (CSS: `saansFont`) | display, body | 300, 380 | 87.0% | webfont |
| **Px Grotesk Font** (CSS: `pxGroteskFont`) | other | 400 | 10.0% | webfont |
| **SF Pro (system-ui)** (CSS: `ui-sans-serif`) | other | 400 | 3.0% | system (stack `ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "`, resolved on macos) |

Scale (px): 12, 14, 16, 18, 24, 32, 48, 60, 72. Effective ratio ≈ 1.285 (close to a major third). Body 16px at line-height 1.5; display 72px with tracking -0.022em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 40px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px base unit; the most used steps are 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40px. Sections open with about 56px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 640px container on a 3-column grid. Text density 0.048 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (120px, bg #151515)
2. **hero** — “Secure your vibe-coded apps” (1040px, bg #151515)
3. **section** — “Apps that mean business” (3052px, bg #151515)
4. **section** (1568px, bg #151515)
5. **section** — “Why enterprises choose Retool” (1408px, bg #151515)
6. **section** — “Trusted by 10,000+ teams to generate production-ready AI applications” (96px, bg #151515)
7. **logos** — “Start today” (887px, bg #151515)
8. **testimonials** — “Get the latest from Retool” (692px, bg #151515)
9. **footer** (904px, bg #151515)

## Elevation & Depth

Style: flat. Most used shadows:

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 4px; radii in use: 4px, 8px, 12px, 20px, 24px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#D9D9D9`, textColor `#15151599`, rounded `12px`, padding `8px 12px`, height `38px`, fontFamily `pxGroteskFont`, fontSize `14px`, fontWeight `400`, border `1px solid #1515151F`
- **button-secondary**: backgroundColor `#E9EBDF`, textColor `#151515`, rounded `9999px`, padding `0px 20px`, height `40px`, fontFamily `pxGroteskFont`, fontSize `14px`, fontWeight `400`
- **card**: rounded `4px`, padding `0px`, border `1px solid #E9EBDF1F`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#D9D9D9` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 0.32% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in Saans Font at 16px / 1.5.
- Do tighten large headlines (-0.022em at 72px).
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 300, 380, 400.
- 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 4px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
