Brand system · live style guide

The Done Viral brand system.

Every token, type ramp, and component below is rendered live from the same theme tokens and component library that build the site — a working mirror of research/brand.md. Modern, edgy, founder-native neo-brutalist editorial: founder-paper canvas, near-black ink, electric indigo, signal-yellow pops, thick 2px borders and hard offset shadows.

01 · Color

Seven brand colors

Each swatch renders its actual theme token (CSS var) — the label shows the exact hex it must equal. Paper dominates; indigo and yellow are accents, never areas.

Paper
#F5F3EC var(--color-paper)

Page background — the founder-paper canvas.

Paper-2
#FFFFFF var(--color-paper-2)

Card / panel / surface that sits on paper.

Ink
#0E0E0E var(--color-ink)

Primary text, all borders, all offset shadows.

Ink-soft
#3C3A35 var(--color-ink-soft)

Secondary / supporting text. ~9:1 on paper.

Electric Indigo
#3B2EFF var(--color-indigo)

The accent: CTAs, links, stats, logo dot.

Indigo-dark
#2C1FD6 var(--color-indigo-d)

Indigo hover / pressed / darker pairing.

Signal Yellow
#FFE600 var(--color-yellow)

The pop: stickers, highlight, featured plan.

Mono — Space Mono Labels, eyebrows, data, stickers, tags, disclaimer. Uppercase, wide tracking, small.

04 · Components

The component gallery

Live instances of every signature primitive — bordered, slightly-raised physical objects on paper. Hover any to feel the lift.

Marquee — decorative scrolling band (aria-hidden, static under reduced motion)
05 · Motion

Fast, ease-out, small

The Emil Kowalski philosophy: ~150–700ms, cubic-bezier(.16,1,.3,1), tiny translate + blur-up, staggered. Reduced motion shows the final state immediately.

Reveal — blur-up + translateY on scroll, staggered ~0.07s
