The visual language of this site — a living reference for colors, typography, spacing, breakpoints, and components.

primaryBorder#181818Default bordercardBorder#2c2c2cCard / code block bordersecondaryBorder#1f1f1fAccent borderThree typefaces — Domine (serif) for primary headings, Roboto for secondary headings, Source Sans Pro for body text, and Fira Code for monospace.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Body text uses Source Sans Pro at 1.125rem (xmedium) with a line height of 1.8 for comfortable reading on long-form content. Paragraphs carry a bottom margin of 1.5rem.
Spacing utilities from styled-components-spacing. Use mt(n), mb(n), p(n), px(n) etc. with keys 0–10.
All breakpoints available via styled-components-breakpoint. Use breakpoint('lg') for min-width or breakpoint('xs', 'lg') for a range.
