+# Design System: Resend
+
+## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
+
+Resend's website is a dark, cinematic canvas that treats email infrastructure like a luxury product. The entire page is draped in pure black (`#000000`) with text that glows in near-white (`#f0f0f0`), creating a theater-like experience where content performs on a void stage. This isn't the typical developer-tool darkness — it's the controlled darkness of a photography gallery, where every element is lit with intention and nothing competes for attention.
+
+The typography system is the star of the show. Three carefully chosen typefaces create a hierarchy that feels both editorial and technical: Domaine Display (a Klim Type Foundry serif) appears at massive 96px for hero headlines with barely-there line-height (1.00) and negative tracking (-0.96px), creating display text that feels like a magazine cover. ABC Favorit (by Dinamo) handles section headings with an even more aggressive letter-spacing (-2.8px at 56px), giving a compressed, engineered quality to mid-tier text. Inter takes over for body and UI, providing the clean readability that lets the display fonts shine. Commit Mono rounds out the family for code blocks.
+
+What makes Resend distinctive is its icy, blue-tinted border system. Instead of neutral gray borders, Resend uses `rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)` — a frosty, slightly blue-tinted line at 19% opacity that gives every container and divider a cold, crystalline quality against the black background. Combined with pill-shaped buttons (9999px radius), multi-color accent system (orange, green, blue, yellow, red — each with its own CSS variable scale), and OpenType stylistic sets (`"ss01"`, `"ss03"`, `"ss04"`, `"ss11"`), the result is a design system that feels premium, precise, and quietly confident.
+
+**Key Characteristics:**
+- Pure black background with near-white (`#f0f0f0`) text — theatrical, gallery-like darkness
+- Three-font hierarchy: Domaine Display (serif hero), ABC Favorit (geometric sections), Inter (body/UI)
+- Icy blue-tinted borders: `rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)` — every border has a cold, crystalline shimmer
+- Multi-color accent system: orange, green, blue, yellow, red — each with numbered CSS variable scales
+- Pill-shaped buttons and tags (9999px radius) with transparent backgrounds
+- OpenType stylistic sets (`"ss01"`, `"ss03"`, `"ss04"`, `"ss11"`) on display fonts
+- Commit Mono for code — monospace as a design element, not an afterthought
+- Whisper-level shadows using blue-tinted ring: `rgba(176, 199, 217, 0.145) 0px 0px 0px 1px`
+
+## 2. Color Palette & Roles
+
+### Primary
+- **Void Black** (`#000000`): Page background, the defining canvas color (95% opacity via `--color-black-12`)
+- **Near White** (`#f0f0f0`): Primary text, button text, high-contrast elements
+- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): `--color-white`, maximum emphasis text, link highlights
+
+### Accent Scale — Orange
+- **Orange 4** (`#ff5900`): `--color-orange-4`, at 22% opacity — subtle warm glow
+- **Orange 10** (`#ff801f`): `--color-orange-10`, primary orange accent — warm, energetic
+- **Orange 11** (`#ffa057`): `--color-orange-11`, lighter orange for secondary use
+
+### Accent Scale — Green
+- **Green 3** (`#22ff99`): `--color-green-3`, at 12% opacity — faint emerald wash
+- **Green 4** (`#11ff99`): `--color-green-4`, at 18% opacity — success indicator glow
+
+### Accent Scale — Blue
+- **Blue 4** (`#0075ff`): `--color-blue-4`, at 34% opacity — medium blue accent
+- **Blue 5** (`#0081fd`): `--color-blue-5`, at 42% opacity — stronger blue
+- **Blue 10** (`#3b9eff`): `--color-blue-10`, bright blue — links, interactive elements
+
+### Accent Scale — Other
+- **Yellow 9** (`#ffc53d`): `--color-yellow-9`, warm gold for warnings or highlights
+- **Red 5** (`#ff2047`): `--color-red-5`, at 34% opacity — error states, destructive actions
+
+### Neutral Scale
+- **Silver** (`#a1a4a5`): Secondary text, muted links, descriptions
+- **Dark Gray** (`#464a4d`): Tertiary text, de-emphasized content
+- **Mid Gray** (`#5c5c5c`): Hover states, subtle emphasis

+
+### Surface & Overlay
+- **Frost Primary** (`#fcfdff`): Primary color token (slight blue tint, 94% opacity)
+- **White Hover** (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.28)`): Button hover state on dark
+- **White 60%** (`oklab(0.999994 ... / 0.577)`): Semi-transparent white for muted text
+- **White 64%** (`oklab(0.999994 ... / 0.642)`): Slightly brighter semi-transparent white
+
+### Borders & Shadows
+- **Frost Border** (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`): The signature — icy blue-tinted borders at 19% opacity
+- **Frost Border Alt** (`rgba(217, 237, 254, 0.145)`): Slightly lighter variant for list items
+- **Ring Shadow** (`rgba(176, 199, 217, 0.145) 0px 0px 0px 1px`): Blue-tinted shadow-as-border
+- **Focus Ring** (`rgb(0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 8px`): Heavy black focus ring
+- **Subtle Shadow** (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px -1px`): Minimal card elevation
+
+## 3. Typography Rules
+
+### Font Families
+- **Display Serif**: `domaine` (Domaine Display by Klim Type Foundry) — hero headlines
+- **Display Sans**: `aBCFavorit` (ABC Favorit by Dinamo), fallbacks: `ui-sans-serif, system-ui` — section headings
+- **Body / UI**: `inter`, fallbacks: `ui-sans-serif, system-ui` — body text, buttons, navigation
+- **Monospace**: `commitMono`, fallbacks: `ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas`
+- **Secondary**: `Helvetica` — fallback for specific UI contexts
+- **System**: `-apple-system, system-ui, Segoe UI, Roboto` — embedded content
+

+
+### Principles
+- **Three-font editorial hierarchy**: Domaine Display (serif, hero), ABC Favorit (geometric sans, sections), Inter (readable body). Each font has a strict role — they never cross lanes.
+- **Aggressive negative tracking on display**: Domaine at -0.96px, ABC Favorit at -2.8px. The display type feels compressed, urgent, and designed — like a magazine masthead.
+- **Positive tracking on nav**: ABC Favorit nav links use +0.35px letter-spacing — the only positive tracking in the system. This creates airy, spaced-out navigation text that contrasts with the compressed headings.
+- **OpenType as identity**: The `"ss01"`, `"ss03"`, `"ss04"`, `"ss11"` stylistic sets are enabled on all ABC Favorit and Domaine text, activating alternate glyphs that give Resend's typography its unique character.
+- **Commit Mono as design element**: The monospace font isn't hidden in code blocks — it's used prominently for code examples and technical content, treated as a first-class visual element.
+
+## 4. Component Stylings
+
+### Buttons
+
+**Primary Transparent Pill**
+- Background: transparent
+- Text: `#f0f0f0`
+- Padding: 5px 12px
+- Radius: 9999px (full pill)
+- Border: `1px solid rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)` (frost border)
+- Hover: background `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.28)` (white glass)

+- Radius: 4px
+- No border
+- Hover: subtle background tint
+- Use: Secondary actions, tab items
+
+### Cards & Containers
+- Background: transparent or very subtle dark tint
+- Border: `1px solid rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)` (frost border)
+- Radius: 16px (standard cards), 24px (large sections/panels)
+- Shadow: `rgba(176, 199, 217, 0.145) 0px 0px 0px 1px` (ring shadow)
+- Dark product screenshots and code demos as card content
+- No traditional box-shadow elevation
+
+### Inputs & Forms
+- Text: `#f0f0f0` on dark, `#000000` on light
+- Radius: 4px
+- Focus: shadow-based ring
+- Minimal styling — inherits dark theme
+
+### Navigation
+- Sticky dark header with frost border bottom: `1px solid rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`
+- "Resend" wordmark left-aligned
+- ABC Favorit 14px weight 500 with +0.35px tracking for nav links
+- Pill CTAs right-aligned
+- Mobile: hamburger collapse
+
+### Image Treatment
+- Product screenshots and code demos dominate content sections
+- Dark-themed screenshots on dark background — seamless integration
+- Rounded corners: 12px–16px on images
+- Full-width sections with subtle gradient overlays
+
+### Distinctive Components
+
+**Tab Navigation**
+- Horizontal tabs with subtle selection indicator
+- Tab items: 8px radius
+- Active state with subtle background differentiation
+
+**Code Preview Panels**
+- Dark code blocks using Commit Mono
+- Frost borders (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`)
+- Syntax-highlighted with multi-color accent tokens (orange, blue, green, yellow)
+
+**Multi-color Accent Badges**
+- Each product feature has its own accent color from the CSS variable scale
+- Badges use the accent color at low opacity (12–42%) for background, full opacity for text
+
+## 5. Layout Principles
+
+### Spacing System
+- Base unit: 8px
+- Scale: 1px, 2px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 30px, 32px, 40px
+
+### Grid & Container
+- Centered content with generous max-width
+- Full-width black sections with contained inner content
+- Single-column hero, expanding to feature grids below
+- Code preview panels as full-width or contained showcases
+
+### Whitespace Philosophy
+- **Cinematic black space**: The black background IS the whitespace. Generous vertical spacing (80px–120px+) between sections creates a scroll-through-darkness experience where each section emerges like a scene.
+- **Tight content, vast surrounds**: Text blocks and cards are compact internally, but float in vast dark space — creating isolated "islands" of content.
+- **Typography-led rhythm**: The massive display fonts (96px) create their own vertical rhythm — each headline is a visual event that anchors the surrounding space.
+
+### Border Radius Scale
+- Sharp (4px): Buttons (ghost), inputs, small interactive elements
+- Subtle (6px): Menu panels, navigation items
+- Standard (8px): Tabs, content blocks
+- Comfortable (10px): Accent elements
+- Card (12px): Clipboard buttons, medium containers
+- Large (16px): Feature cards, images, main buttons
+- Section (24px): Large panels, section containers
+- Pill (9999px): Primary CTAs, tags, badges
+
+## 6. Depth & Elevation
+
+| Level | Treatment | Use |
+|-------|-----------|-----|
+| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, transparent background | Default — most elements on dark void |
+| Ring (Level 1) | `rgba(176, 199, 217, 0.145) 0px 0px 0px 1px` | Shadow-as-border for cards, containers |
+| Frost Border (Level 1b) | `1px solid rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)` | Explicit borders — buttons, dividers, tabs |
+| Subtle (Level 2) | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px -1px` | Light card elevation |
+| Focus (Level 3) | `rgb(0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 8px` | Heavy black focus ring — accessibility |
+
+**Shadow Philosophy**: Resend barely uses shadows at all. On a pure black background, traditional shadows are invisible — you can't cast a shadow into the void. Instead, Resend creates depth through its signature frost borders (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`) — thin, icy blue-tinted lines that catch light against the darkness. This creates a "glass panel floating in space" aesthetic where borders are the primary depth mechanism.
+
+### Decorative Depth
+- Subtle warm gradient glows behind hero content (orange/amber tints)
+- Product screenshots create visual depth through their own internal UI
+- No gradient backgrounds — depth comes from border luminance and content contrast
+
+## 7. Do's and Don'ts
+
+### Do
+- Use pure black (`#000000`) as the page background — the void is the canvas
+- Apply frost borders (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`) for all structural lines — they're the blue-tinted signature
+- Use Domaine Display ONLY for hero headings (96px), ABC Favorit for section headings, Inter for everything else
+- Enable OpenType `"ss01"`, `"ss04"`, `"ss11"` on Domaine and ABC Favorit text
+- Apply pill radius (9999px) to primary CTAs and tags
+- Use the multi-color accent scale (orange/green/blue/yellow/red) with opacity variants for context-specific highlighting
+- Keep shadows at ring level (`0px 0px 0px 1px`) — on black, traditional shadows don't work
+- Use +0.35px letter-spacing on ABC Favorit nav links — the only positive tracking
+
+### Don't
+- Don't lighten the background above `#000000` — the pure black void is non-negotiable
+- Don't use neutral gray borders — all borders must have the frost blue tint
+- Don't apply Domaine Display to body text — it's a display-only serif
+- Don't mix accent colors in the same component — each feature gets one accent color
+- Don't use box-shadow for elevation on the dark background — use frost borders instead
+- Don't skip the OpenType stylistic sets — they define the typographic character
+- Don't use negative letter-spacing on nav links — ABC Favorit nav uses positive +0.35px
+- Don't make buttons opaque on dark — transparency with frost border is the pattern
+
+## 8. Responsive Behavior
+
+### Breakpoints
+| Name | Width | Key Changes |
+|------|-------|-------------|
+| Mobile Small | <480px | Single column, tight padding, 76.8px hero |
+| Mobile | 480–600px | Standard mobile, stacked layout |
+| Desktop | >600px | Full layout, 96px hero, expanded sections |
+
+*Note: Resend uses a minimal breakpoint system — only 480px and 600px detected. The design is desktop-first with a clean mobile collapse.*
+
+### Touch Targets
+- Pill buttons: adequate padding (5px 12px minimum)
+- Tab items: 8px radius with comfortable hit areas
+- Navigation links spaced with 0.35px tracking for visual separation
+
+### Collapsing Strategy
+- Hero: Domaine 96px → 76.8px on mobile
+- Navigation: horizontal → hamburger
+- Feature sections: side-by-side → stacked
+- Code panels: maintain width, horizontal scroll if needed
+- Spacing compresses proportionally
+
+### Image Behavior
+- Product screenshots maintain aspect ratio
+- Dark screenshots blend seamlessly with dark background at all sizes
+- Rounded corners (12px–16px) maintained across breakpoints
+
+## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
+
+### Quick Color Reference
+- Background: Void Black (`#000000`)
+- Primary text: Near White (`#f0f0f0`)
+- Secondary text: Silver (`#a1a4a5`)
+- Border: Frost Border (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`)
+- Orange accent: `#ff801f`
+- Green accent: `#11ff99` (at 18% opacity)
+- Blue accent: `#3b9eff`
+- Focus ring: `rgb(0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 8px`
+
+### Example Component Prompts
+- "Create a hero section on pure black (#000000) background. Headline at 96px Domaine Display weight 400, line-height 1.00, letter-spacing -0.96px, near-white (#f0f0f0) text, OpenType 'ss01 ss04 ss11'. Subtitle at 20px ABC Favorit weight 400, line-height 1.30. Two pill buttons: white solid (#ffffff, 9999px radius) and transparent with frost border (rgba(214,235,253,0.19))."
+- "Design a navigation bar: dark background with frost border bottom (1px solid rgba(214,235,253,0.19)). Nav links at 14px ABC Favorit weight 500, letter-spacing +0.35px, OpenType 'ss01 ss03 ss04'. White pill CTA right-aligned."
+- "Build a feature card: transparent background, frost border (rgba(214,235,253,0.19)), 16px radius. Title at 56px ABC Favorit weight 400, letter-spacing -2.8px. Body at 16px Inter weight 400, #a1a4a5 text."
+- "Create a code block using Commit Mono 16px on dark background. Frost border container (24px radius). Syntax colors: orange (#ff801f), blue (#3b9eff), green (#11ff99), yellow (#ffc53d)."
+- "Design an accent badge: background #ff5900 at 22% opacity, text #ffa057, 9999px radius, 12px Inter weight 500."
+
+### Iteration Guide
+1. Start with pure black — everything floats in the void
+2. Frost borders (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`) are the universal structural element — not gray, not neutral
+3. Three fonts, three roles: Domaine (hero), ABC Favorit (sections), Inter (body) — never cross
+4. OpenType stylistic sets are mandatory on display fonts — they define the character
+5. Multi-color accents at low opacity (12–42%) for backgrounds, full opacity for text
+6. Pill shape (9999px) for CTAs and badges, standard radius (4px–16px) for containers
+7. No shadows — use frost borders for depth against the void
