Design System
The building blocks behind the Mullins Creative brand — playful, warm, and consistent across every page.
Identity
Logo & brand mark
The MC monogram pairs a bold display wordmark with a rounded tangerine tile. Keep clear space around it and use the light variant on dark backgrounds.
Foundations
Color tokens
Semantic tokens defined in globals.css. Reference them through Tailwind classes like bg-primary or text-muted-foreground — never hard-coded hex values.
Brand accents
Primary / Brand
Tangerine. CTAs, key accents.
Highlight
Sunny yellow. Callouts, badges.
Cool
Teal. Secondary accent.
Neutrals & surfaces
Background
Warm cream page base.
Card
Surfaces & panels.
Muted
Subtle fills.
Foreground
Text & borders.
Use 3–5 colors per screen: cream background, dark foreground text, one dominant accent (tangerine), plus yellow and teal as supporting pops. Every accent has a paired -foreground token for accessible text contrast.
Foundations
Typography
Two families do all the work: Bricolage Grotesque for expressive display headings and Inter for clean, readable body copy.

Components
Cards & surfaces
The SurfaceCard primitive standardizes the three container styles used across the site, from the signature pop card to quieter panels.
Pop
Signature card with hard offset shadow. Used for services and features.
Soft
Quieter bordered surface for dense content, lists, and nested panels.
Dashed
Callout surface for prompts like “have an idea that doesn't fit in a box?”
