Delta Air Lines (DAL) — MEC Brand Spec

Token overrides and brand spec for the DAL MEC branded experience.

Figma file: gpO3masyyNNHxjvRtdcRo7 · Node: 21247:2907 (DAL page) · Status: Colors pixel-confirmed (2026-07-06); DQ-15 intent still open · Last updated: 2026-07-06

Color candidates are now screenshot-confirmed, not final.

Typography is confirmed. A 2026-07-06 pass rendered node 21247:2989 to a PNG and pixel-sampled the actual colors (not just raw Figma fills) — see below. Both candidate navies now have clearer usage context, but design still needs to confirm whether the two-tone pattern is intentional before this table is finalized. Per procedure §3.6, colors from raw fills alone aren't enough — this pass did the required visual confirmation.

Typography — Confirmed (D33)

DAL uses a split font strategy: display/headings use a condensed typeface, body text uses a humanist sans.

SlotALPA baseDAL overrideWeightNotes
Font/Heading Futura PT Bold (700) Bebas Neue 400 (display-only, all-caps) Bebas Neue is all-uppercase; only suitable for large heading text. Confirm Bold variant availability per D33.
Font/Body Futura PT Book (400) League Spartan 400 (Regular), 700 (Bold) Same as UAL body font. Google Fonts, publicly available.

Bebas Neue constraint: Bebas Neue is a display font designed for all-uppercase, large sizes. It should not be used for body copy or small labels. Confirm with the design team which heading sizes use Bebas Neue and whether a body-weight fallback is needed at smaller sizes.

Color Tokens — Open Design Question (DQ-15)

DQ-15 is open — intent still needs design confirmation, but usage context is now much clearer after a 2026-07-06 pixel-sampling pass (rendered screenshot of node 21247:2989, not just raw fills):

Do not implement DAL color tokens until DQ-15's intent question is resolved. See design-questions.html DQ-15 for the full question set now being asked of the design team.

Token pathCandidate value ACandidate value BStatus
Surface/Brand (candidate — header/featured-content surfaces) #002a50 — Welcome card, Contract Comparison card #09243d — NAVIGATE + TOOLS cards Pixel-confirmed 2026-07-06; DQ-15 intent open
navBar-bottom background #05273e — samples as base ALPA navy, not either DAL candidate New finding — ask design (see DQ-15)
Heart / favorite-fill red #c01933 (pixel-confirmed, this screen) Confirmed value; DAL-specific vs. shared app red still open
Delta corporate red (real-world brand) #e31837 (real-world Delta red — not found in this Figma capture) Not present in Figma — may not be used
Text/On-Brand TBD — depends on Surface/Brand resolution Capture required after DQ-15
Font/Heading "BebasNeue" Confirmed (D33)
Font/Body "LeagueSpartan" Confirmed (D33)

Next Steps to Complete This Spec

  1. Design team responds to DQ-15 — confirm whether the two-tone navy pattern (now confirmed across 4 UI groupings, not just 2) is intentional, whether navBar-bottom should carry a DAL color, and whether #c01933 is a real DAL-specific red.
  2. Once DQ-15 is resolved, assign real token names (e.g. Surface/Brand / Surface/Brand-Dark) to the two confirmed navy values and add the new slot to the theme endpoint contract if the pattern is adopted.
  3. Confirm Bebas Neue weight availability (single weight vs multi-weight package).
  4. Populate the full token table and theme endpoint payload block in this page.
  5. Update the MEC Hub status badge.
