version: alpha name: Notion description: Notion presents itself as the all-in-one workspace through a confident, illustration-rich brand voice — anchored by a deep navy hero band ({colors.brand-navy}) decorated with brand-colored sticky-note dots and mesh wire illustrations, a signature purple pill primary CTA ({colors.primary}), and a rich palette of pastel-tinted feature cards that echo the colorful database properties of the live product. The system uses a Notion-Sans (Inter-based) typeface across every UI surface, anchors a 4-tier pricing comparison (Free / Plus / Business / Enterprise), and presents the live workspace UI mockup directly inside the hero band. Coverage spans homepage, Enterprise, Product AI, Product Agents, Startups, and Pricing surfaces.

Overview

Notion presents itself as the all-in-one workspace through a confident, illustration-rich brand voice. The homepage opens with "Meet the night shift." rendered centered over a deep navy hero band ({colors.brand-navy}), decorated with brand-colored sticky-note dots and mesh wire illustrations scattered around the headline. The signature purple pill primary CTA ({colors.primary}) "Get Notion free" sits at the visual center, paired with an outlined "Request a demo" secondary. Below the buttons, a real Notion workspace UI mockup card (the "Ramp HQ" kanban board) breaks out of the hero band with a deep diffuse drop shadow.

Below the hero, the page cycles through a distinctive sequence of feature sections: a dense sticky-note "Keep work moving 24/7" panel with red/blue/green/purple/teal status icons; a bold yellow ({colors.card-tint-yellow-bold}) "Ask your on-demand assistants" banner card flanked by orange/rose/mint pastel feature tiles showing assistant UI mockups; and a "Bring all your work together" 3-column grid with brand-colored mockups (sky-blue tutorial card, light Notion calendar, brown/rust testimonial slate). The pricing page renders 4 tiers (Free / Plus / Business / Enterprise) horizontally with one tier featured (purple-bordered) and a dense feature comparison table running below.

The system uses a Notion-Sans typeface (Inter-based) across every UI surface — humanist-geometric character that pairs naturally with the colorful illustrations. Buttons are {rounded.md} (8px) rectangles, NOT pills — distinguishing Notion's sober rectangular geometry from competitors that use pills universally. Cards use {rounded.lg} (12px) consistently.

Key Characteristics:

Deep navy hero band ({colors.brand-navy}) with scattered sticky-note dots + mesh wire decorative illustrations

Principles

Tight hero leading (1.05) on 80px display
Negative letter-spacing on display sizes (-2px to -0.5px)
Generous body leading (1.55) for documentation readability
600 weight for headlines + 500 for buttons; 400 body

Layout

Spacing System

Base unit: 4px (8px primary increment)
Tokens: {spacing.xxs} (4px) through {spacing.hero} (120px)
Section rhythm: Marketing pages use {spacing.section-lg} (96px); pricing tightens to {spacing.section} (64px)

Grid & Container

1280px max-width with 32px gutters
Pricing: 4-tier card row at desktop with dense comparison table
Homepage: centered hero with workspace mockup below buttons; alternating colorful feature card sections

Whitespace Philosophy

Marketing surfaces use generous breathing room between feature card bands. Workspace mockup card on hero gets full-width treatment with deep drop shadow.

Elevation & Depth

Level	Treatment	Use
0 (flat)	No shadow; `{colors.hairline}` border	Default cards, table rows
1 (subtle)	`rgba(15, 15, 15, 0.04) 0px 1px 2px 0px`	Hover-elevated tiles
2 (card)	`rgba(15, 15, 15, 0.08) 0px 4px 12px 0px`	Feature cards
3 (mockup)	`rgba(15, 15, 15, 0.20) 0px 24px 48px -8px`	Hero workspace mockup card
4 (modal)	`rgba(15, 15, 15, 0.16) 0px 16px 48px -8px`	Modals, dropdowns

Decorative Depth

Hero workspace mockup card uses deep diffuse drop shadow (Level 3) — significant elevation against the navy band
Pastel feature cards carry their own visual weight via tint backgrounds
Sticky-note dot illustrations and mesh wires add atmospheric decoration to navy hero

Shapes

Border Radius Scale

Token	Value	Use
`{rounded.xs}`	4px	Tag chips
`{rounded.sm}`	6px	Type badges
`{rounded.md}`	8px	Buttons, inputs, search-pill
`{rounded.lg}`	12px	Cards, pricing tiers, agent tiles, workspace mockup
`{rounded.xl}`	16px	Larger feature panels
`{rounded.xxl}`	20px	Featured product showcases
`{rounded.xxxl}`	24px	Larger feature cards
`{rounded.full}`	9999px	Status badges, pill tabs (NOT regular buttons)

Notion's geometry is sober-editorial — {rounded.md} (8px) buttons distinguish it from pill-button-everywhere brands.

Do's and Don'ts

Do

Use {colors.primary} (purple) as the dominant CTA across all surfaces — it's the brand's recognizable signal
Pair deep navy hero bands ({colors.brand-navy}) with the purple button + decorative sticky-note dots
Use pastel feature card tints (peach, rose, mint, lavender, sky, yellow) generously
Use {colors.card-tint-yellow-bold} for high-emphasis "Ask the assistant"-style banner cards
Apply {rounded.md} (8px) to buttons consistently — Notion uses rectangles, not pills
Apply {rounded.lg} (12px) to all card families
Maintain Notion-Sans across every UI surface
Use the workspace mockup card on hero bands to show actual product UI

Don't

Don't use the purple for body text or large background surfaces
Don't use pill-shaped buttons; Notion's geometry is rectangular-sober
Don't mix link-blue ({colors.link-blue}) with primary-purple ({colors.primary}) — they have distinct roles
Don't apply heavy shadows on flat documentation cards
Don't replace Notion-Sans with a generic Inter

Responsive Behavior

Breakpoints

Name	Width	Key Changes
Mobile (small)	< 480px	Single column. Hero 36px. Pricing 1-up.
Mobile (large)	480 – 767px	Feature cards 2-up. Hero 48px.
Tablet	768 – 1023px	2-column feature grids. Hero 56px.
Desktop	1024 – 1279px	4-tier pricing card row. Hero 72px.
Wide Desktop	≥ 1280px	Full 80px hero presentation.

Touch Targets

Buttons render at 40–44px effective height
Form inputs render at 44px height
Pill tabs ~32px → 44px on mobile

Collapsing Strategy

Promo banner stays full-width; truncates at < 480px
Top nav below 1024px collapses to hamburger
Hero band: workspace mockup card moves below text/buttons on mobile
Pricing tiers: 4-column → 2-column tablet → 1-column mobile
Feature cards: 3-up desktop → 2-up tablet → 1-up mobile
Hero typography: 80px → 56px → 48px → 36px
Footer: 6-column desktop → 3-column tablet → accordion mobile

Image Behavior

Workspace mockup card maintains aspect ratio
Pastel illustrations inside feature cards scale proportionally
Customer logo wall: wordmarks at consistent 60–80px height

Iteration Guide

Focus on ONE component at a time
Reference component names and tokens directly
Run npx @google/design.md lint DESIGN.md after edits
Add new variants as separate components: entries
Default to {typography.body-md} for body
Keep {colors.primary} (purple) as the primary CTA — distinct from {colors.link-blue} for inline links
Use {rounded.md} for buttons (rectangles), {rounded.lg} for cards, {rounded.full} for pill tabs/badges only

Known Gaps

Specific dark-mode token values not surfaced beyond hero bands
Animation/transition timings not extracted; recommend 150–200ms ease
Form validation success state not explicitly captured
Pastel-tint mapping (which feature uses which tint) is observation-based — the actual brand library may have more entries
