# Vercel — Design Reference (measured)

Measured design tokens extracted from `https://vercel.com/` by designskill-extract/3.2.0.
Every value below was observed in the live page (×N = observation count). Values not listed were **not observed** — do not invent them.
This document is `reference_only`: an analysis of a third-party site, not a license to its brand assets.

## Overview

- Extraction mode: **full-render** (viewports 390/768/1440px × light/dark), 1 page(s), 442 observation records.
- Primary action color observed as `#ff0080` (basis: inferred, confidence 0.78).
- Dominant font family: **GeistSans** (×856; secondary Geist Mono ×111).
- Type scale observed at 8 sizes from 11px to 48px.
- Corner radius values in use: 6px, 4px, 12px.
- Not observed in this extraction: forms.

## Colors

### Role Tokens

Semantic roles inferred from observed usage. `basis` tells how the role was established (declared CSS var > cross-validated > inferred).

| `{color.background}` | `#fafafa` | cross-validated | 0.92 | ×124 |
| `{color.ink}` | `#000000` | cross-validated | 0.93 | ×218 |
| `{color.muted}` | `#888888` | inferred | 0.7 | ×331 |
| `{color.surface}` | `#ededed` | inferred | 0.7 | ×202 |
| `{color.accent}` | `#0070f3` | inferred | 0.57 | ×4 |

## Typography

### Font Families

| Family | Observed |
|---|---|
| `GeistSans` | ×856 |
| `Geist Mono` | ×111 |
| `Georgia` | ×2 |
| `GeistSans Fallback` | ×1 |

| `{type.body}` | 14px | ×767 |
| `{type.body-sm}` | 12px | ×62 |

| `#888888` | `#fafafa` | 3.4 | fail | muted_on_background |

5 measured pair(s) fail AA — if you reuse those pairs, adjust lightness until the ratio reaches 4.5:1.

## Usage Rules

### Do
- Use `{color.primary}` (`#ff0080`) for primary actions only — that is where it was observed.
- Default text pairing: `{color.ink}` (`#000000`) on `{color.background}` (`#fafafa`).
- Set all text in `GeistSans` (fallbacks only for glyph coverage).
- Pick corner radii from the measured set (6px, 4px, 12px) — no intermediate values were observed.
- Cite this file's token names (`{color.*}`, `{type.*}`) when generating UI so output stays traceable to observations.

### Don't
- Don't invent colors, sizes, shadows, or spacing not listed above — absence means *not observed*, and this document records observations only.
- Don't assume the missing blocks (forms) don't exist on the site — they were simply not captured in this run.
- Don't copy brand assets (logo, wordmark, imagery, copy) — `reference_only` covers measured style values, not brand identity.
- Treat `{color.accent}` with caution — confidence below 0.6.
