@tangle-network/brand

@tangle-network/brand

Single source of truth for the Tangle design system. Design tokens, logo, and a Tailwind v4 theme preset, shared across every Tangle app (tangle-website, sandbox-ui, evals, agent-builder, product surfaces).

Scope: tokens, not components. Shared components live in @tangle-network/ui; product-specific components stay in their product repos.

For the broader visual, copy, graphic, and component standards, see the repo-level brand guidelines.

Install

pnpm add @tangle-network/brand

Use

Tailwind v4 app

/* app.css */
@import "@tangle-network/brand/styles";
@import "tailwindcss";

That single import wires:

• CSS custom properties for dark (:root) and light ([data-sandbox-theme="vault"])
• Tailwind v4 @theme block so bg-brand, text-fg-muted, rounded-lg, font-display, etc. just work
• Base styles and a handful of utility classes (.text-gradient-brand, .depth-1..4, .status-dot-*)

Fonts are not bundled — see Fonts below.

Finer control

@import "@tangle-network/brand/styles/tokens";
@import "tailwindcss";
@import "@tangle-network/brand/styles/theme";
@import "@tangle-network/brand/styles/globals";

Logo

import { Logo, TangleKnot } from "@tangle-network/brand";

<Logo size="lg" />
<Logo size="md" suffix="Sandbox" />
<TangleKnot size={48} />

What's in the palette

• Accent — indigo #6366F1 / #818CF8 / #A5AAFC
• Depth stack — #0C0B1D → #262448 (dark); #f4f4f9 → #dcdbe8 (light)
• Status — emerald / amber / coral for running / stopped / error
• Radii — 6/8/12/16px (dark); 2/4/6/8px (light/"vault")

Light theme activates via data-sandbox-theme="vault" on a parent element.

Fonts

brand references the following font families in its design tokens but does not bundle them — consumer apps must load the fonts themselves. This is deliberate:

• (a) @import url(...) inside library CSS breaks downstream when CSS chain-imports get reordered — once the dist CSS is inlined after any rule, the URL @import is no longer at the top of the merged stylesheet, the CSS spec disallows it, and PostCSS rejects the build. Mirrors tangle-network/sandbox-ui#28.
• (b) Shipping a third-party Google Fonts request from a library is privacy-hostile.
• (c) Consumers cannot fall back when the network fails.

Family	Role	Used as CSS variable
Geist	UI body text (dark)	--font-sans
Geist Mono	Code, terminal	--font-mono
Outfit	Display / headings (dark)	--font-display
Manrope	Display / headings (vault)	--font-display
Inter	UI body text (vault)	--font-sans

Pick one loading strategy that fits your app:

1. Self-hosted via @fontsource/* (recommended — no external network request):

pnpm add @fontsource/geist-sans @fontsource/geist-mono @fontsource/outfit @fontsource/manrope @fontsource/inter

// app entry
import "@fontsource/geist-sans/400.css";
import "@fontsource/geist-sans/500.css";
import "@fontsource/geist-sans/600.css";
import "@fontsource/geist-sans/700.css";
import "@fontsource/geist-mono/400.css";
import "@fontsource/geist-mono/500.css";
import "@fontsource/outfit/500.css";
import "@fontsource/outfit/700.css";
import "@fontsource/manrope/500.css";
import "@fontsource/manrope/700.css";
import "@fontsource/inter/400.css";
import "@fontsource/inter/600.css";

2. Google Fonts via HTML <link>:

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com" />
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin />
<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Geist:wght@300;400;500;600;700&family=Geist+Mono:wght@400;500;600&family=Outfit:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Manrope:wght@400;500;600;700;800&family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap"
/>

Any family you omit falls back per the --font-* token chain.

Policy

• No additions without a cross-app audit. New tokens land here or nowhere; do not fork this into apps.
• Version as a product. Semver. Breaking token changes are major bumps.
• Sandbox-ui as the stress-test surface. Tokens ship here only after sandbox-ui has used them in anger.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm build

To iterate inside a consuming app, link locally:

# in ~/webb/brand
pnpm link --global

# in the consumer
pnpm link --global @tangle-network/brand

Or use a file: path dependency ("@tangle-network/brand": "file:../brand").
