# Design System Inspired by Expressive
> Category: Bold & Expressive
> Vibrant, personality-driven design with bold colors, playful graphics, and dynamic layouts that balance creativity with structure.
## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Vibrant, personality-driven design with bold colors, playful graphics, and dynamic layouts that balance creativity with structure.
- **Visual style:** modern, playful
- **Color stance:** primary, secondary, neutral, success, warning, danger
- **Design intent:** Keep outputs recognizable to this style family while preserving usability and readability.
## 2. Color
- **Primary:** `#DB2777` — Token from style foundations.
- **Secondary:** `#2563EB` — Token from style foundations.
- **Success:** `#16A34A` — Token from style foundations.
- **Warning:** `#D97706` — Token from style foundations.
- **Danger:** `#DC2626` — Token from style foundations.
- **Surface:** `#FFFFFF` — Token from style foundations.
- **Text:** `#111827` — Token from style foundations.
- **Neutral:** `#FFFFFF` — Derived from the surface token for official format compatibility.
- Favor Primary (#DB2777) for CTA emphasis.
- Use Surface (#FFFFFF) for large backgrounds and cards.
- Keep body copy on Text (#111827) for legibility.
## 3. Typography
- **Scale:** 14/16/18/24/32/40
- **Families:** primary=IBM Plex Mono, display=IBM Plex Mono, mono=IBM Plex Mono
- **Weights:** 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
- Headings should carry the style personality; body text should optimize scanability and contrast.
## 4. Spacing & Grid
- **Spacing scale:** 4/8/12/16/24/32
- Keep vertical rhythm consistent across sections and components.
- Align columns and modules to a predictable grid; avoid ad-hoc offsets.
## 5. Layout & Composition
- Prefer clear content blocks with consistent internal padding.
- Keep hierarchy obvious: headline → support text → primary action.
- Use whitespace to separate concerns before adding borders or shadows.
## 6. Components
- Buttons: primary action uses `#DB2777`; secondary actions stay neutral.
- Inputs: strong focus-visible states, clear labels, and predictable error messaging.
- Cards/sections: use consistent radii, spacing, and elevation strategy across the page.
## 7. Motion & Interaction
- Use subtle transitions that emphasize Primary (#DB2777) as the interaction signal.
- Default to short, purposeful transitions (150250ms) with stable easing.
- Ensure hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, and loading states are explicit.
## 8. Voice & Brand
- Tone should reflect the visual style: concise, confident, and product-specific.
- Keep microcopy action-oriented and avoid generic filler language.
- Preserve the style identity in headlines while keeping UI labels literal and clear.
## 9. Anti-patterns
- Do not introduce off-palette colors when an existing token can solve the problem.
- Do not flatten hierarchy by using the same type size/weight for all text.
- Do not add decorative effects that reduce readability or accessibility.
- Do not mix unrelated visual metaphors in the same interface.
