Foundation guidance & comments

Established foundation

Typography (Libre Franklin display / Outfit body and their weights), the DESIGN.md palette tokens, spacing scale, and the open, grounded, capable voice are locked foundations. Layout, shape, component mechanisms, imagery, motion, and hierarchy remain open to interpretation. Identity marks remain draft. Changing a locked foundation requires a recorded decision.

Color roles

Royal and navy form the constant blue spine. Green adds resident warmth. Sand, cream, and sand wash create a welcoming public ground. Marigold is a sparse warm accent and must never be used as the warning color. Functional warning is #C77800. The persistent Donate action is the one approved marigold-filled control; its small footprint keeps accent coverage below 8% and prevents the exception from becoming a second CTA system.

Sand, cream, sand wash, sky, and Meadow mist are surfaces rather than text colors. Meadow mist is the pale resident ground, lighter than Green tint, added for palette review at the user’s request. Cream is the yellow-paper reading surface. Sand wash is the complimentary linen field — the same hue family as sand, lighter than cream, short of white. Field green with white is limited to large text; normal white text uses live oak. Color never carries meaning alone.

The Brief palette specimens read the canonical tokens and the active version palette registry above; numeric values are generated from those sources.

Typography

Libre Franklin carries civic weight in display and headings. Outfit is even, friendly, and multilingual-friendly for body copy and interface controls.

The H1 range is fluid from 40 to 54 px. Body copy remains at least 16 px in implementation. Layouts must tolerate Spanish and Haitian Creole expansion without truncation or horizontal page scrolling.

DES-TYPE · Line 421

Layout and spacing

Start at a 320 CSS px viewport. Use clear vertical rhythm, constrained reading measures, and generous separation around forms and consequential actions. Cards are for genuinely parallel choices, not the default page structure.

Registers alter emphasis:

Resident: green warmth, direct reassurance, phone-first pathways.
Institution: blue-dominant, restrained, evidence-forward.
Public: sand/cream/wash welcome with the blue spine and broad orientation.

Shared spacing, navigation, interaction, form, and status behavior remain consistent.

Buttons and component behavior

Small radii keep controls clear and civic rather than playful. Larger radii (lg, xl) soften informational surfaces into more organic, welcoming shapes — the standalone home photograph and the contained navigation dropdown bubbles use them. Pill shapes are limited to compact metadata, locale indicators, statuses, primary next-step actions, and the persistent Donate action—not large containers. Start here is the navy threshold pill: one opening next step, with arrow motion only on hover or focus. Donate is the only marigold-filled persistent pill; its sunburst is never reused on ordinary actions. Ordinary buttons keep the 4px control radius.
