# Typotheque type foundry

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

Typotheque type foundry uses a light canvas (#FFFFFF) with a palette led by #282828. Type is set in **November** (display + body), with 16px body text. Layout: 1280px container, top-static+blur navigation, 7 sections. Built with next.js, 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.

| Token | Hex | OKLCH | Role | Share of paint | CSS variable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `background` | `#FFFFFF` | 1 0 0 | bg | 44.8% | `--color-greyscale-0` |
| `on-surface` | `#000000` | 0 0 0 | text | 27.1% | `--color-greyscale-100` |
| `surface` | `#F8F8F8` | 0.979 0 0 | surface | 10.5% | `--color-greyscale-10` |
| `on-surface-variant` | `#999999` | 0.683 0 0 | muted | 0.89% | `--color-greyscale-50` |
| `primary` | `#282828` | 0.277 0 0 | accent | 0.81% | `--color-greyscale-90` |
| `system-orange` | `#FF6600` | 0.696 0.204 43.5 | other | 4.1% | `--color-system-orange` |
| `color-7` | `#FFFFFFCC` (on bg `#FFFFFF`) | 1 0 0 | other | 2.4% | — |
| `system-blue` | `#00B6DE` | 0.719 0.132 221.1 | other | 2.2% | `--color-system-blue` |
| `colors-red` | `#FF4D00` | 0.668 0.224 37 | other | 2.1% | `--color-colors-red` |
| `colors-pink` | `#FFBACF` | 0.858 0.084 359.1 | other | 2.1% | `--color-colors-pink` |
| `colors-light-blue` | `#B5EDFF` | 0.914 0.062 219.6 | other | 2.0% | `--color-colors-light-blue` |
| `system-brown` | `#AA8866` | 0.65 0.063 66.3 | other | 0.18% | `--color-system-brown` |

Sparse chromatic highlights (not accents): `#00B6DE` (`--color-system-blue`).

Contrast: text on background 21:1, muted text 2.85:1, accent 14.74:1.

The site does not change under `prefers-color-scheme: dark`.

## Typography

| Family | Role | Weights | Share of text | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **November** (CSS: `november`) | display, body | 400, 700 | 91.9% | webfont |
| **Zeddisplay l Rondslntwdthwght rond0slnt0wdth100wght400Custom** (CSS: `zeddisplay_l_rondslntwdthwght_rond0slnt0wdth100wght400Custom`) | other | 400 | 1.7% | webfont |

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

Scale (px): 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 40. Effective ratio ≈ 1.357 (close to a perfect fourth). Body 16px at line-height 1.5; display 190px with tracking 0em. Headings are sentence case. On a 390px viewport the body is 16px and display 110px.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 5px base unit; the most used steps are 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 80, 227px. Sections open with about 80px of space before their first line of text. Content sits in a 1280px container on a 4-column grid. Text density 0.075 (text area / page area).

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

1. **nav** (80px, bg #FFFFFF)
2. **hero** (1036px, bg #000000)
3. **section** — “Blog” (671px, bg #FFFFFF)
4. **section** — “Global Fonts” (968px, bg #000000)
5. **section** — “Fonts In Use” (656px, bg #FFFFFF)
6. **newsletter** — “Newsletter” (372px, bg #F8F8F8)
7. **footer** (258px, bg #FFFFFF)

## Shapes

Dominant corner radius 0px; radii in use: 24px, pill. Borders: hairline (1px).

## Components

- **button-primary**: backgroundColor `#282828`, textColor `#FFFFFF`, rounded `0px`, padding `0px 0px`, height `60px`, fontFamily `November`, fontSize `13px`, fontWeight `400` (e.g. “Learn More”)
- **input**: rounded `9999px`, height `60px`, padding `10px 15px`

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do reserve `#282828` for primary actions and highlights; it covers only 0.81% of the painted page.
- Do set body copy in November at 16px / 1.5.
- Don't introduce font weights beyond 400, 700.
- Don't add drop shadows; depth comes from tone and borders.
- Do keep corners at 0px for most controls.
- Do snap spacing to multiples of 5px.
- Don't copy this site's logos, illustrations, photography or copy; use the system, not the brand assets.
