Pick one — never blend variants or invent a fifth.109 110- **Primary** — rounded shape, bg `linear-gradient(180deg, #E6CC92 0%, #C9A96A 50%, #A88848 100%)`, text `#1F1A14`, border `1px solid rgba(122, 89, 45, 0.35)`, padding `12px 26px`, weight `500`, shadow `0 8px 20px -10px rgba(122, 89, 45, 0.40), inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 245, 220, 0.55), inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(122, 89, 45, 0.20)`.111- **Secondary** — rounded shape, bg `#FBF7EE`, text `#1F1A14`, border `1px solid rgba(122, 107, 88, 0.25)`, padding `12px 26px`, weight `500`.112- **Outline** — rounded shape, text `#7A6B58`, border `1px solid rgba(122, 107, 88, 0.40)`, padding `11px 24px`, weight `500`.113- **Ghost** — rounded shape, text `#7A6B58`, padding `11px 4px`, weight `500`.114 115Reach for **primary** as the single dominant CTA per screen.116**Secondary** for the supporting action. **Outline** for tertiary117actions in toolbars. **Ghost** for inline links and table actions.118 119#### Cards120 121- Background: `#FBF7EE`122- Border: `1px solid rgba(122, 107, 88, 0.15)`123- Shadow: `0 1px 2px rgba(31, 26, 20, 0.04), 0 0 0 1px rgba(122, 107, 88, 0.08)`124- Radius: `radius.lg` (`6px`)125- Internal padding: `20px` for compact cards, `24–28px` for content cards.126 127#### Charts128 129- Bar/line variant: `line`130- No gridlines — let the bars/lines carry the data.131- Highlight strategy: `last` — emphasize a single bar/point per chart.132- Use the declared palette in order: `#C9A96A`, `#A88848`, `#7A6B58`.133 134#### Typography pairings135 136- **Display (`Cormorant Garamond`)** — h1, h2, hero headlines, brand wordmarks.137- **Body (`Inter`)** — paragraphs, labels, button text, form inputs.138- **Mono (`JetBrains Mono`)** — code, eyebrows, metadata, numerals in tables.139 140### 4 · Hard constraints141 142Never do any of the following without explicit instruction from the user:143 144- Introduce a new color, font, radius, or shadow that isn't declared above.145- Mix this system with another (e.g. don't paste in Material or Bootstrap defaults).146- Use generic gradient defaults (purple→blue, peach→pink) — they break the system's voice.147- Reach for emoji icons. Use a consistent icon library and size icons in line with body type.148- Add motion that exceeds the system's restraint — keep transitions short (≤200ms) and subtle.149 150### 5 · Before you finish — verify151 152Run through this checklist for every screen you produce:153 154- [ ] Every color used appears in the Colors table above.155- [ ] Headlines use the display font; body copy uses the body font.156- [ ] Buttons match one of the declared variants exactly (shape, padding, weight).157- [ ] Border-radius values come from `radius.sm` / `radius.md` / `radius.lg` / `radius.pill`.158- [ ] Cards and dividers use the declared border + shadow tokens.159- [ ] No values were invented; if you needed something missing, you stopped and asked.160 161---162 163## Overview164Champagne Foundry is a warm metallic premium system. Cream paper canvas, deep ink type in a high-contrast serif, and one machined gesture: a brushed champagne primary CTA with a top-edge gloss and a bottom-edge shadow that reads as lit metal.165 166For high-end consumer brands, watchmakers, private banking, concierge platforms, hospitality. Premium without ostentation — restraint is the whole point.167 168## The Metallic Gesture169The primary button is the system's signature. It uses a vertical 3-stop gradient that mimics a lit brushed surface:170 171```css172background: linear-gradient(180deg, #E6CC92 0%, #C9A96A 50%, #A88848 100%);173border: 1px solid rgba(122, 89, 45, 0.35);174box-shadow:175 0 8px 20px -10px rgba(122, 89, 45, 0.40),176 inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 245, 220, 0.55),177 inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(122, 89, 45, 0.20);178```179 180The inner top-edge highlight is what reads as "polished." Without it the button looks flat. The inner bottom-edge shadow gives the metal weight. Both must be present.181 182**Where it appears:**183- The primary CTA fill.184- An optional thin horizontal divider beneath the hero (1px gradient line).185 186**Where it never appears:**187- Body text. Card fills. Backgrounds. Logos. Any second button on the page.188 189## Color190- **Ink #1F1A14** — primary text.191- **Bronze #7A6B58** — secondary text, refined captions.192- **Champagne #C9A96A** — the accent endstop.193- **Cream Paper #F4EFE6** — page canvas.194- **Warm Paper #FBF7EE** — card surface.195 196The system is monochromatic-warm. There is no second hue. Restraint of palette is what allows the metal to feel precious.197 198## Typography199- **Display: Cormorant Garamond 400** at 5.5rem with -2.5% tracking. High-contrast serif, never bolded above 500.200- **Body: Inter 400** at 1rem with **1.7 leading**.201- Italic Cormorant for emphasis inside hero headlines (one word per hero).202 203| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Tracking |204|------|------|------|--------|----------|205| Hero | Cormorant Garamond | 5.5rem | 400 | -0.025em |206| H1 | Cormorant Garamond | 3.25rem | 400 | -0.02em |207| H2 | Cormorant Garamond | 1.625rem | 500 | -0.01em |208| Body | Inter | 1rem | 400 | 0 / 1.7 |209 210## Geometry211- **Radii: 2 / 4 / 6.** Architectural restraint. The metal looks expensive at 4px; at 12px it looks cheap.212- **Section gap: 160px** desktop, 96px mobile. Air around the metal is mandatory.213- **Card padding: 40px** minimum.214 215## Buttons216- **Primary** — brushed champagne with the full gloss/shadow stack. The single most precious element on the page.217- **Secondary** — warm paper, 25% bronze hairline.218- **Outline** — transparent with a 40% bronze hairline.219- **Ghost** — bare bronze label, hover underline.220 221All four are softly rounded at 4px. The rest is restraint.222 223## Cards224Warm paper surface, 1px bronze hairline at 15%, a 1px shadow at 4%. Radius 6px. Cards never lift — the page is a layered paper composition, not a stack of floating tiles.225 226## Charts & Data227A single 1.5px champagne line over the cream canvas, no gridlines, no fills. A champagne dot at the latest reading. The chart should feel like a hand-engraved plot.228 229## Do's and Don'ts230- ✅ The metallic gradient appears once per page — the primary CTA. That's it.231- ✅ Always include the inner top-edge highlight + inner bottom-edge shadow. Without them the metal dies.232- ✅ Cormorant 400 for display — never bolded above 500. The serif's contrast is the elegance.233- ✅ Italic Cormorant on one accent word per hero, max.234- ❌ No second metallic surface. No silver, no rose-gold, no chrome.235- ❌ No drop shadows beyond the warm bronze underglow on the primary CTA.236- ❌ No pills. No 12px+ radii. The metal needs sharp edges to read as crafted.237- ❌ No saturated chromatic accents. The system is warm-monochrome.238 239---240 241## Tokens242 243> Generated from the same source the live preview renders from.244> Treat the values below as the contract — never substitute approximations.245 246### Colors247 248| Role | Value |249|-----------|-------|250| primary | `#1F1A14` |251| secondary | `#7A6B58` |252| tertiary | `#C9A96A` |253| neutral | `#F4EFE6` |254| surface | `#FBF7EE` |255 256### Typography257 258- **Display:** Cormorant Garamond259- **Body:** Inter260- **Mono:** JetBrains Mono261 262| Role | size / leading / weight / tracking |263|------|------------------------------------|264| Hero | 5.5rem / 1 / 400 / -0.025em |265| H1 | 3.25rem / 1.05 / 400 / -0.02em |266| H2 | 1.625rem / 1.3 / 500 / -0.01em |267| Body | 1rem / 1.7 / 400 / 0em |268 269### Radius270 271- sm: `2px`272- md: `4px`273- lg: `6px`274 275### Shadows276 277- **card:** `0 1px 2px rgba(31, 26, 20, 0.04), 0 0 0 1px rgba(122, 107, 88, 0.08)`278- **button:** `0 8px 20px -10px rgba(122, 89, 45, 0.40), inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 245, 220, 0.55), inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(122, 89, 45, 0.20)`279 280### Borders281 282- **card:** `1px solid rgba(122, 107, 88, 0.15)`283- **divider:** `rgba(122, 107, 88, 0.18)`284 285### Buttons286 287Four variants, each fully tokenized.

Vinyl Noir
A music platform that sounds like late-night radio looks. Deep charcoal surfaces with a faint vertical warmth, Instrument Serif italic for album titles, Inter for everything else, a single burnt-amber accent reserved for the now-playing state. Built for music streaming, label sites, and audio products that want warmth in the dark without leaning on neon.
Summit Canvas
An expedition brand that earned its weather. Warm sand-canvas surfaces, Inter for prose, Fraunces small-caps for coordinates and elevations, a single deep pine accent on trail markers and the active route. Built for outdoor brands, gear retailers, and travel platforms that want gravitas without the moody-mountain photography cliché.
