Tokens

`colours`

Colour tokens control foreground and background colours for all content. The system is monochrome with a warm hue mixed in.


      --color-bg


      --color-bg-error


      --color-bg-negative


      --color-fg


      --color-fg-medium


      --color-fg-weak


      --color-fg-weaker

They were chosen in order to swap out the colours in light/dark mode while maintaining contrast differences between foreground and background elements.

You can test the light/dark themes and increased contrast modes by changing it in your browser developer tools or operating system settings.

Note that the weakest contrast shown below is inaccessible against the background and is only used for artistic effect such as strokes.

--color-fg-weak on --color-bg

--color-fg-weaker on --color-bg

To further increase the contrast when desired, we shift the background color:

--color-fg-medium on --color-bg-negative

--color-fg-weak on --color-bg-negative

--color-fg-weaker on --color-bg-negative

`typography`

Font styles include two font faces, a playful serif for large headings and a soft and relaxed font for body copy.

Note that the font-weight is adjusted when prefers incresed contrast mode is active in order to, you know, increase the visual contrast against the background.
