Code
Courier New, 11px, ink. No syntax highlighting — this brand never asks the reader to parse a rainbow.
Inline — the .mono utility
Wrap any token reference in .mono: the institutional blue --color-link is set to #003366, served as a CSS custom property on :root.
Block
:root {
--color-text: #1f2120;
--color-link: #003366;
--color-red: #990000;
--color-divider: #708776;
}
.btn-primary {
background: var(--ink);
color: var(--color-white);
border: 1px solid var(--ink);
/* square is the law */
border-radius: 0;
} Filename / token labels
When a doc page calls out a specific token name, render it in accent-colored mono — for example --fs-hero or .quote-inspect. This is the only place the red accent appears outside the .red utility itself, and it's how every other token reference on the site reads.
Anatomy
- Family — Courier New, Courier, monospace (via --font-mono).
- Inline size — 11px. Tight against the surrounding Georgia or Verdana copy.
- Block — 13px, var(--surface) fill, 1px hairline, overflow-x:auto for long lines.
- No syntax highlighting. The brand reads as a regulatory document; multi-colored tokens fight that intent.
