Cool soft-glass system on a pale icy-blue canvas. True frosted cards at 18% white with 28px backdrop-blur, 160% saturate, 1px white hairline, inner top-edge gloss. One restrained slate-blue accent.
A complete design system, ready for your AI coding agent. Every primitive, token, and pattern below is generated straight from DESIGN.md — drop the file in your project and ship matching UI in minutes.
Prose-first token file — decisions live next to their reasoning.
Fine micro-scale (1–5px) for pills, editorial scale (12–21px) for the grid.
The system's own radius tokens — sm for chips and inputs, md for buttons, lg for cards, pill for fully-rounded CTAs.
Tokens describe the resting state. A real product needs every interaction state. Hover, focus, active, disabled, loading — all derived from the system's resting tokens.

Use a consistent icon library and size icons in line with body type.167- Add motion that exceeds the system's restraint — keep transitions short (≤200ms) and subtle.168 169### 5 · Before you finish — verify170 171Run through this checklist for every screen you produce:172 173- [ ] Every color used appears in the Colors table above.174- [ ] Headlines use the display font; body copy uses the body font.175- [ ] Buttons match one of the declared variants exactly (shape, padding, weight).176- [ ] Border-radius values come from `radius.sm` / `radius.md` / `radius.lg` / `radius.pill`.177- [ ] Cards and dividers use the declared border + shadow tokens.178- [ ] No values were invented; if you needed something missing, you stopped and asked.179 180---181 182## Overview183Cirrus Pane is a cool soft-glass system. The canvas is a pale icy blue with a horizontal cloud-light gradient — two diffuse radial highlights at opposite corners over a vertical pale-to-deeper-pale wash. Cards are true frosted panes: 18% white background, 28px backdrop-blur, 160% saturate, a 1px white hairline at 55%, and an inner top-edge gloss. One restrained slate-blue accent (#3F5878) carries every interactive moment.184 185For SaaS surfaces that want to feel premium without going dark, weather and travel apps, financial dashboards that need a calm cool register, anything where "high cirrus light" is the brand mood.186 187## The Glass Recipe188The card treatment is the entire system. Every value matters:189 190```css191.card {192 background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.18);193 backdrop-filter: blur(28px) saturate(160%);194 border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.55);195 box-shadow:196 0 24px 60px -28px rgba(40, 60, 90, 0.22),197 0 2px 6px rgba(40, 60, 90, 0.06),198 inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.65);199}200```201 202The inner top-edge highlight is non-negotiable — it's what makes the glass read as a real pane catching light from above rather than a flat translucent rectangle. The 28px blur and 160% saturate combine to keep colors behind the glass alive without smearing them.203 204## The Backdrop205Cards need something to refract. The page background layers two diffuse radial highlights at opposite corners over a vertical pale-blue wash:206 207```css208body {209 background:210 radial-gradient(80% 50% at 20% 0%, rgba(195, 215, 235, 0.65) 0%, transparent 60%),211 radial-gradient(70% 60% at 90% 100%, rgba(210, 225, 240, 0.55) 0%, transparent 60%),212 linear-gradient(180deg, #E8EEF4 0%, #DBE5EE 100%);213}214```215 216Both highlights stay cool — never introduce a warm stop. Warm stops kill the cirrus mood instantly.217 218## Color219- **Slate-blue #3F5878** — the only chromatic mark. CTAs, chart line, active states.220- **Mid slate #42505E** — body text.221- **Cool stone #7A8696** — secondary text, axis labels.222- **Icy canvas #E8EEF4** — page base.223- **Paper #FFFFFF** — inverse moments only.224 225## Typography226- **Manrope 600** for display at 4.25rem with -3.4% tracking.227- **Manrope 400** for body at 1rem with 1.65 leading.228 229| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Tracking |230|------|------|------|--------|----------|231| Hero | Manrope | 4.25rem | 600 | -0.034em |232| H1 | Manrope | 2.5rem | 600 | -0.026em |233| H2 | Manrope | 1.5rem | 600 | -0.014em |234| Body | Manrope | 1rem | 400 | -0.003em / 1.65 |235 236## Geometry237- **Radii: 14 / 20 / 28.** Soft and glass-friendly throughout.238- **Section gap: 112px** desktop, 72px mobile.239- **12-column grid** with 24px gutters.240 241## Buttons242- **Primary** — frosted slate-blue glass pill, 12px backdrop-blur, 160% saturate. White hairline.243- **Secondary** — true frosted-white pill, 20px backdrop-blur. The system's most distinctive button.244- **Outline** — slate-blue hairline at 28% alpha.245- **Ghost** — bare slate label, hover underline.246 247## Charts & Data2482px slate-blue line, 22% fill area, no gridlines, end-of-line dot marker. Axis labels in cool stone at 0.75rem. The chart sits inside a frosted card so the soft cirrus backdrop reads through the data.249 250## Do's and Don'ts251- ✅ Hold every glass value precisely — the recipe is non-negotiable.252- ✅ Always include the inner top-edge gloss. It's the difference between glass and translucency.253- ✅ Keep all backdrop stops cool. No warm tones on the canvas.254- ✅ One slate-blue accent only.255- ❌ No warm radial stops in the backdrop. Cool light is the brand.256- ❌ No flat opaque cards. Cards must be glass — that's the entire system.257- ❌ No second chromatic accent.258- ❌ No deep shadows. The glass floats softly; it doesn't drop heavy.259 260---261 262## Tokens263 264> Generated from the same source the live preview renders from.265> Treat the values below as the contract — never substitute approximations.266 267### Colors268 269| Role | Value |270|-----------|-------|271| primary | `#3F5878` |272| secondary | `#42505E` |273| tertiary | `#7A8696` |274| neutral | `#E8EEF4` |275| surface | `#FFFFFF` |276 277### Typography278 279- **Display:** Manrope280- **Body:** Manrope281- **Mono:** JetBrains Mono282 283| Role | size / leading / weight / tracking |284|------|------------------------------------|285| Hero | 4.25rem / 1.06 / 600 / -0.034em |286| H1 | 2.5rem / 1.12 / 600 / -0.026em |287| H2 | 1.5rem / 1.3 / 600 / -0.014em |288| Body | 1rem / 1.65 / 400 / -0.003em |289 290### Radius291 292- sm: `14px`293- md: `20px`294- lg: `28px`295- pill: `9999px`296 297### Shadows298 299- **card:** `0 24px 60px -28px rgba(40, 60, 90, 0.22), 0 2px 6px rgba(40, 60, 90, 0.06)`300- **button:** `0 8px 20px -10px rgba(63, 88, 120, 0.45)`301 302### Borders303 304- **card:** `1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6)`305- **divider:** `rgba(63, 88, 120, 0.12)`306 307### Glass308 309Translucent panes with backdrop-filter — the preview renders cards from these exact values.310 311| Property | Value |312|----------|-------|313| surface | `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.18)` |314| blur | `28px` |315| saturate | `160%` |316| border | `1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.55)` |317| shadow | `0 24px 60px -28px rgba(40, 60, 90, 0.22), 0 2px 6px rgba(40, 60, 90, 0.06)` |318| innerHighlight | `inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.65)` |319| backdrop | `radial-gradient(80% 50% at 20% 0%, rgba(195, 215, 235, 0.65) 0%, transparent 60%), radial-gradient(70% 60% at 90% 100%, rgba(210, 225, 240, 0.55) 0%, transparent 60%), linear-gradient(180deg, #E8EEF4 0%, #DBE5EE 100%)` |320 321### Buttons322 323Four variants, each fully tokenized.
