Design System Visual Reference

Design System v1.0.1

A practical visual system for MTC, connecting the brand strategy to production-ready colour, typography, components, spacing, and interface behavior.

The system expresses MTC as established, capable, and precise while maintaining a distinctive regional identity. Its signature surface is the Emerald Field: a deep green environment with restrained supporting accents and one clear action per surface.

Three rules govern the system: one primary green (#007934, with the remaining greens derived from it); gold is ceremonial and limited to calls to action and heritage details; and each surface presents one primary action.
18

Colour System

One green, deepened

The full ramp is generated from #007934, with the darker tones moving toward rich emerald rather than muddy forest green.

Gold accessibility: gold-400 does not provide sufficient contrast on white. Use gold calls to action only on the Emerald Field with green-950 text; use green for actions on light surfaces.

Typography

Poppins & IBM Plex Sans Arabic

Poppins communicates manufactured precision and visually echoes the circular geometry of the brand mark. IBM Plex Sans Arabic provides an engineered, highly legible companion for regional communication.
