# Vercel — Design System Specification

- Surface Dark: `#111111`
- Text White: `#ededed`
## 3. Typography Scale

- Body: 16px / Weight 400 / Geist
## 4. Button Variants
- Deploy Button: `background: #ededed`, `color: #000000`, `border-radius: 6px`
## 5. Card Examples
- Project Card: `background: #111111`, `border: 1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.14)`
## 6. Form Elements

## 7. Spacing Scale
