Theming and Brand

A docs experience should feel like your product, not a default starter kit.

Token-first theming

Define visual tokens once and reuse them everywhere:

• page background
• panel background
• text colors
• accent color
• border color

Typography pairing

Use one expressive display face for headings and one high-legibility face for body text.

Keep code monospace neutral

Reserve strong personality for headlines, but keep code blocks stable and familiar.

Motion guidance

Use a small number of meaningful transitions:

• sidebar and content entrance
• subtle hover response on navigation
• top bar blur + depth for scroll context

Accessibility baseline

1. Validate contrast against both panel and page backgrounds.
2. Ensure keyboard focus states are visible.
3. Keep heading hierarchy sequential.
