description: MongoDB carries a strong dual-mode visual identity — dark deep-teal hero bands with bright MongoDB green ({colors.brand-green}) CTAs paired with stark white documentation surfaces. The signature green pill button is unmistakable across product, pricing, learning, and AI use-case surfaces. The system uses Euclid Circular A as its display face, anchors a 3-tier pricing comparison (Free / Flex / Dedicated), and presents extensive course catalogs in card grids with colored category tags. Coverage spans homepage, Atlas product page, Community Edition, MongoDB University, AI use cases, and pricing.

## Overview

MongoDB carries a strong dual-mode visual identity — dark deep-teal hero bands with the unmistakable bright MongoDB green ({colors.brand-green}) CTA pill paired with stark white documentation and pricing surfaces. The homepage opens with "One data platform. Unlimited AI potential." headline over a deep navy hero, the green pill sitting at the visual center as the primary CTA. Lower on the page, embedded code mockup cards (terminal-aesthetic) sit on the dark hero band, breaking out into white feature cards below. The pricing page renders a 3-tier comparison (Free / Flex / Dedicated) with a featured tier highlighted in soft mint background and bright green border. The MongoDB University page presents a course catalog grid where each tile carries a colored category tag (orange, purple, green, teal) — these are MongoDB's category-encoding accent colors and are the only place outside the brand green where saturated color appears.

The system uses Euclid Circular A as its display face. The face is contemporary geometric — confident but not overly playful — and pairs naturally with both the developer-tool aesthetic of the database product and the educational positioning of the learning surfaces. Cards use `{rounded.lg}` (12px) corners; buttons use `{rounded.full}` pills universally. The brand-teal palette ({colors.brand-teal-deep}) anchors hero bands, footer, code mockups, and the dark CTA banners.

**Key Characteristics:**
- Deep navy/teal hero bands ({colors.brand-teal-deep}) with bright MongoDB green ({colors.brand-green}) CTA pills
- Stark white pricing/documentation surfaces with colored category tags for course tiles (purple, orange, green, teal)
- Euclid Circular A across every UI surface
- Pill-shaped buttons ({rounded.full}) and 12px-rounded cards
- 3-tier pricing comparison (Free / Flex / Dedicated) with featured-mint highlight tier
- Code mockup cards with terminal-aesthetic dark canvas

### Hierarchy

| Token | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `{typography.hero-display}` | 72px | 500 | 1.10 | -1.5px | Hero ("One data platform") |
| `{typography.display-lg}` | 56px | 500 | 1.15 | -1px | Major section openers |
| `{typography.heading-1}` | 48px | 500 | 1.20 | -0.5px | Page-level headlines |
| `{typography.heading-2}` | 36px | 500 | 1.25 | -0.5px | Subsection headlines |
| `{typography.heading-3}` | 28px | 500 | 1.30 | 0 | Card titles |
| `{typography.heading-4}` | 22px | 500 | 1.35 | 0 | Feature tile titles |
| `{typography.heading-5}` | 18px | 600 | 1.40 | 0 | Smaller card titles, FAQ questions |
| `{typography.subtitle}` | 18px | 400 | 1.50 | 0 | Hero subtitle, lead body |
| `{typography.body-md}` | 16px | 400 | 1.55 | 0 | Primary body text |
| `{typography.body-sm}` | 14px | 400 | 1.50 | 0 | Secondary body, table cells |

| `{typography.code-md}` | 14px | 400 | 1.55 | 0 | Code mockups |

### Principles
- Tight hero leading (1.10) on 72px display
- Negative letter-spacing on display sizes (-1.5px to -0.5px)
- 600 weight reserved for buttons and small emphasis (FAQ headings, badges)
- Generous body leading (1.55) for technical documentation readability

## 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: 3-tier card row, dense feature comparison table below
- Learn catalog: 3-up course tile grid, 4-up certification grid
- AI use cases: 2-column hero with atmospheric illustration

### Whitespace Philosophy
Marketing surfaces give content generous breathing room — `{spacing.hero}` (120px) hero padding for deep teal bands. Pricing/learn surfaces tighten dramatically.

## Elevation & Depth

| Level | Treatment | Use |
|---|---|---|
| 0 (flat) | No shadow; `{colors.hairline}` border | Default cards, table rows |
| 1 (subtle) | `rgba(0, 30, 43, 0.04) 0px 1px 2px 0px` | Hover-elevated tiles |
| 2 (card) | `rgba(0, 30, 43, 0.08) 0px 4px 12px 0px` | Feature cards |
| 3 (mockup) | `rgba(0, 30, 43, 0.12) 0px 12px 24px -4px` | Code mockup over hero |
| 4 (modal) | `rgba(0, 30, 43, 0.16) 0px 16px 48px -8px` | Modals, dropdowns |

### Decorative Depth
- Dark teal hero bands carry atmospheric gradient depth
- Code mockup cards on hero use canvas-dark surface with terminal aesthetic
- Pale-mint pricing-feature tier uses brand-tinted shadow

## Shapes

### Border Radius Scale

| Token | Value | Use |
|---|---|---|
| `{rounded.xs}` | 4px | Course category tags |
| `{rounded.sm}` | 6px | Type badges, code chips |
| `{rounded.md}` | 8px | Inputs, search-pill, code blocks |
| `{rounded.lg}` | 12px | Cards, pricing tiers, course tiles |
| `{rounded.xl}` | 16px | Larger feature panels |
| `{rounded.xxl}` | 24px | Featured product showcases |
| `{rounded.full}` | 9999px | All buttons, status badges |

### Photography Geometry
- Hero illustrations sit on full-bleed dark backgrounds
- Course tile thumbnails use `{rounded.lg}` corners
- Customer logos wall: wordmarks at consistent 60–80px height

## Do's and Don'ts

### Do
- Use `{colors.brand-green}` (bright MongoDB green) for primary CTAs everywhere
- Pair dark-teal hero bands with bright green CTA pills
- Apply `{rounded.full}` to every button, every status badge
- Apply `{rounded.lg}` (12px) to cards consistently
- Use category accent colors (purple, orange, green, teal) ONLY for course tags
- Maintain Euclid Circular A across every UI surface
- Use code mockup cards with terminal-aesthetic content for product showcases

### Don't
- Don't use the bright green for body text or large surfaces
- Don't introduce additional accent colors beyond the brand green and category-encoding palette
- Don't soften corners on buttons; the pill is a brand signature
- Don't replace deep teal hero bands with white hero bands
- Don't apply heavy shadows on flat documentation cards; reserve elevation for code mockups
- Don't use Source Code Pro for prose

## Responsive Behavior

### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile (small) | < 480px | Single column. Hero 36px. Pricing 1-up. Course catalog 1-up. |
| Mobile (large) | 480 – 767px | Course tiles 2-up. Hero 48px. |
| Tablet | 768 – 1023px | 2-column feature grids. Hero 56px. |
| Desktop | 1024 – 1279px | 3-tier pricing card row. 3-up course catalog. Hero 64px. |
| Wide Desktop | ≥ 1280px | Full 72px hero presentation. |

### Touch Targets
- Pill buttons render at 40–44px effective height
- Form inputs render at 44px height
- Search pill (large) renders at 56px
- 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**: code mockup card moves below text on mobile
- **Pricing tiers**: 3-column → 2-column tablet → 1-column mobile
- **Course catalog**: 3-up → 2-up tablet → 1-up mobile
- **Hero typography**: 72px → 56px → 48px → 36px
- **Footer**: 6-column desktop → 3-column tablet → accordion mobile

### Image Behavior
- Atmospheric AI imagery uses 16:9 ratio with full-bleed scaling
- Code mockup card content remains readable across breakpoints
- Customer logo wall: wordmarks at consistent 60–80px height

## Iteration Guide

1. Focus on ONE component at a time
2. Reference component names and tokens directly
3. Run `npx @google/design.md lint DESIGN.md` after edits
4. Add new variants as separate `components:` entries
5. Default to `{typography.body-md}` for body
6. Keep `{colors.brand-green}` as the primary CTA across all surfaces
7. Pill-shaped buttons (`{rounded.full}`) always
8. Dark-teal hero bands frame primary CTAs

## Known Gaps

- Specific dark-mode token values for canvas/surface beyond hero bands not surfaced
- Animation/transition timings not extracted; recommend 150–200ms ease
- Form validation success state not explicitly captured
- Course-tile category color mappings are observation-based
