# Vercel — Design System Specification

## 1. Overview & Visual Rationale
Vercel's design is modern monochrome minimalism. Built around pure blacks (`#000000`), stark whites (`#ededed`), and the variable font `Geist`, Vercel focuses heavily on extreme typography contrast and developer utility.

## 2. Color System
- Primary Black: `#000000`
- Surface Dark: `#111111`
- Text White: `#ededed`

## 3. Typography Scale
- Display: 64px / Weight 700 / Geist
- 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
- CLI Input: `font-family: Geist Mono`, `border-radius: 6px`

## 7. Spacing Scale
- 4px, 8px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px

## 8. Border Radius Scale
- `sm: 4px`, `md: 8px`, `full: 9999px`

## 9. Elevation & Depth
- `card shadow: 0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.1)`

## 10. Responsive Behavior
- `sm: 640px`, `md: 768px`, `lg: 1024px`, `xl: 1280px`
