# DESIGN.md — "Sonoran Ledger" (multipage)
# DESIGN.md — "Bold" (default)
The locked design language for the ACG site. A trusted local bookkeeper's ledger,
rendered for the web: warm paper, precise rules, mono numerals. Pricing, the
calculator, and the concierge story are treated as a transparent, permanent record.
The locked design language for the ACG site. Premium brutalist: confident authority
without arrogance. Anton poster headlines, signal orange accents, grayscale documentary
photos, refined 1px borders. Direct, transparent, inked precision.
## Color strategy: Committed (warm paper carries the surface), one accent as "ink"
Use OKLCH; neutrals tinted toward the brand hue (~30 hue). Never pure #000/#fff.
## Color strategy: High-contrast refined brutalist
Sharp contrasts, near-neutral palette with signal orange as the ONLY accent color.
- **Light:** paper `#F7F3EB`, surface `#EDE6D9`, surface-2 `#E4DACA`,
ink `#2A2521`, ink-2 `#5A5148`, ink-3 `#6D6456` (AA on cream).
- **Dark:** paper `#1C1814`, surface `#2A2520`, surface-2 `#322B24`,
ink `#E8DFCE`, ink-2 `#C4B8A3`, ink-3 `#9A8C77`.
- **Accent (the "ink"):** amber `#F2922E` (light) / `#F2A24E` (dark) for fills,
underlines, marks, the single primary CTA. Orange TEXT on light must use
`#BD5A00` (AA); on dark `#F4A85C`.
- Accent is ≤ ~10% of any view. It marks active data, never fills big blocks.
- **Light:** bone `#F4EDE1`, surface `#FBF7F0`, surface-2 `#EAE2D4`,
ink `#16120F`, ink-2 `#46403A`, ink-3 `#5C544B` (AA on bone ~5:1).
- **Dark:** near-black `#0C0A09`, surface `#16120F`, surface-2 `#1E1814`,
ink `#F4EDE1`, ink-2 `#C9C1B5`, ink-3 `#9A9082`.
- **Accent:** signal orange `#E24A12` (light) / `#FF5A1F` (dark) fills, CTA,
underlines, marks. Orange TEXT: `#C23A0A` (light, AA) / `#FF8A4D` (dark, AA).
- Accent is restrained, authoritative. Never decorative gradients or tints.
## Theme
Both light and dark are first-class. Scene: a Tucson business owner reading at a
sunlit desk by day, or late at night deciding on a provider. Warm in both. System
preference is honored and remembered, set before first paint (no flash).
Both light and dark are first-class. Light = crisp professional confidence. Dark =
refined premium authority. System preference honored, set before first paint (no FOUC).
## Typography
- Display: **Barlow Condensed** 600/700 (headlines, tier names, the "since 2001" lockup).
- Body: **Lexend** 300/400/500 (body capped 6575ch).
- Mono: **JetBrains Mono**, tabular-nums, for ALL money, the calculator, endpoint
counts, eyebrows, and ledger micro-labels.
- Scale steps keep ≥1.25 contrast; hierarchy via scale + weight.
- Display: **Anton** 400 (headlines, tier names, brand lockup, pricing numerals).
Uppercase for h1/h2/tier names. Sentence-case for functional labels (service names,
FAQ questions) to avoid condensed-caps smear at UI sizes.
- Body: **Hanken Grotesk** 400/500/700 (paragraphs, UI labels, functional copy).
- Mono: **JetBrains Mono** tabular-nums for money, calculator, endpoint counts.
- Hierarchy via size + case + weight. Large poster numerals lean into Anton's authority.
## Layout & rhythm
- Strict 24px baseline. Faint continuous ledger rulings align to body line-height.
- Vary spacing per page; do not repeat one padding everywhere. Avoid identical card
grids. Cards only where they are the right affordance (pricing tiers).
- Radius 02px only. Sharp = precise, manual, honest.
- 24px baseline. NO ledger rulings (dropped from the paper aesthetic).
- Hard 1px ink borders on major sections, header, rate cards, calculator shell.
- Vary spacing per page. Premium softening: extra breathing room on tiers/calc panels.
- Radius: 2px on buttons/cards/inputs (refined, not zero-radius industrial).
- Rate cards use ink background with 1px gap dividers (frame + inner grid unified).
## Photography
Grayscale documentary photos (scoped to .hero__frame / .story__img / .page-head--img /
.office-figure only). `filter: grayscale(1) contrast(1.08)` matches the high-contrast
palette. Future logos/badges/UI images stay color.
## Motion
- Reveal on scroll (opacity + small translate), ease-out only, respects reduced-motion.
- Never animate layout properties.
## Alternate skins (header switcher)
- **Midnight Concierge** — cool dark-premium slate aesthetic
- **Verdigris Gate** — oxidized-copper green/plaster, Fraunces serif, cool color photos
## House laws (impeccable)
- **No em dashes** anywhere in copy. Use commas, colons, semicolons, periods, parentheses.
- **No side-stripe accent borders** (no border-left/right > 1px as a colored accent).

## Multipage specifics
- Shared sticky header (brand + nav + theme toggle + mobile menu) and footer on every page.

- Active nav state per page (`aria-current="page"`).
- Pages: Home, Services, Pricing, Calculator, About, Contact. Each has its own
opening rhythm so the set never feels templated.
