Coinone

Overview

Visual Theme & Atmosphere

Coinone is a Korean virtual-asset exchange whose public company materials frame the business around bringing blockchain into the world and creating an environment grounded in trust, innovation, and expertise. Founded in 2014, the exchange presents a formal blue identity in its corporate guideline, then uses a more utilitarian product language in the public routes captured here. The current exchange home is white, compact, and set in the loaded pretendardCoinone webfont; its public trading route is denser and uses the separately loaded Spoqa Han Sans. The corporate brand page is a third, distinct source domain: it defines the signature, clear space, and Coinone Blue palette, but its Roboto-led documentation chrome is not a product font rule. This reference preserves those boundaries rather than forcing them into one inferred UI system.

Primary tasks

• Check how Bitcoin is trading against the Korean won
• Sign in to the exchange from its public home page
• Complete customer verification before using the exchange
• Look up how to protect an account from phishing and fraud

Iconography & Imagery

The public exchange home has a loaded coinone_glyph_ui asset for one observed icon-font use. The supplied bundle does not establish a named icon set, image treatment, illustration style, or media-card specification.

Do

• Keep the official Coinone Blue palette and current product-blue observation distinct in implementation notes.
• Preserve the home/trading typography boundary when recreating one of the captured routes.
• Treat the corporate brand guideline as identity evidence, not as a source of exchange-control CSS.

Don't

• Substitute a declared-only or system family for pretendardCoinone or Spoqa Han Sans while presenting it as the observed family.
• Invent hover, error, empty, modal, responsive, or logged-in component variants beyond the frames declared in §4; transition frames and focus frames in the capture are not state values.
• Generalize the corporate guideline's Roboto documentation chrome into exchange UI typography.

Brand Narrative

Coinone's official history records the company's establishment in 2014 and the launch of its Bitcoin exchange that October. Its mission page describes the company as believing in the possibilities created by free connection and movement of value through blockchain, under the slogan “Bringing Blockchain into the World.” The company names trust, innovation, and expertise as its values.

The official business page describes Coinone Exchange as a Korean professional virtual-asset exchange and presents asset safety, anti-money-laundering systems, transparent listing policy, and a user-centered trading environment as core operating themes. The public brand guideline gives that service context a consistent visual identity: a horizontal signature as the default, protected clear space, and blue as the main color representing the future.

Principles

1. Make trust legible. UI implication: keep verification, safety, and status language explicit instead of implying a guarantee.
2. Separate identity from surface evidence. UI implication: use the official palette as brand context while retaining the captured home and trading controls as route-local facts.
3. Support expert use without inventing density rules. UI implication: preserve observed trading-tab typography, but do not infer an entire order-entry system from a public route.
4. Keep product and support boundaries clear. UI implication: do not turn support documentation or corporate copy into an observed exchange state.

Personas

The first-party sources identify stakeholder groups rather than publishing user-research personas. The following are source-grounded service audiences, not synthetic behavioral profiles:

• Exchange members — people using Coinone's exchange and asset-management services.
• Prospective or returning users completing customer verification — the official support flow identifies customer verification and real-name account checks as service requirements.
• Customers seeking security or investor-protection guidance — the support center publishes phishing, fraud, account-protection, and investor-protection information.

Colors

Color & Typography

Color tokens

• #006BD6 — official Coinone Blue main color.
• #0090FF — official point color.
• #194386 and #062554 — official supporting blue and navy colors.
• #FFFFFF — observed public product canvas and compact-control background.
• #17181B — observed product foreground across the home and trading route.
• #0B59D5 — observed current-home primary blue. It is distinct from, but compatible with, the official #006BD6 identity swatch; the two values are recorded by source domain rather than collapsed.
• #DDE4EB — observed home compact-control border.
• Component-local product colours recorded in §4, not promoted to palette roles: #1772F8 (trading sign-in fill and home sign-up text; a 5% tint of it is the home navigation hover), #2076F4 (home sign-up border), #E12343 (trading order button), #EBF0F5 and #F4F7F9 (home app-download button and card fills), #F8F8F9 (trading ticker tags), and #424242 (trading ticker search text).

Typography evidence classes

• Live home computed use: pretendardCoinone is loaded/high confidence with 408 observed uses across home body, controls, cards, headings, inputs, and badges. Three Coinone CDN WOFF2 source URLs corroborate the computed family. It is the home UI family in the machine tokens.
• Live trading computed use: Spoqa Han Sans is loaded/high confidence with 314 observed uses across the BTC/KRW public trading route, including controls, rows, tabs, and text. Its loaded source list includes Coinone-hosted font assets. It is a separate trading-route family, not a fallback for the home.
• Documentation chrome: Roboto and Arial occur on the corporate brand page; the bundle classifies them as system families. They are not product UI tokens.
• Loaded icon asset: coinone_glyph_ui is loaded for one observed icon-font use. It is an interface asset, not a text family token.
• Declared-only assets: coinone_glyph_coin, Glyphicons Halflings, Noto Sans KR, pretendardCoinone Fallback, and slick have zero visible uses in the supplied capture. They remain declared-only and are not substituted or promoted.
• Licence boundary: no first-party public font-licence statement was found for pretendardCoinone or the Coinone-hosted Spoqa files in the requested searches. The capture proves live loading and use; it does not establish redistribution terms.

Layout

Layout & Grid

• The public home and public BTC/KRW trading route are both product surfaces, but their captured controls use different loaded families and density. They are recorded as separate product sub-surfaces.
• The home capture contains compact 24px and 32px controls; the trading route contains a 37px chart tab and a 40px side tab.
• The supplied capture does not establish a reusable page grid, breakpoint, logged-in balance view, order-entry flow, or mobile navigation behavior.
• The corporate brand guideline provides identity rules and its own documentation chrome. It is not used to populate exchange layout tokens.

Elevation & Depth

Elevation

The selector-backed home and trading controls above have box-shadow: none. The capture does not substantiate a reusable shadow or elevation ladder.

Shapes

Spacing & Shape

Observed component spacing is intentionally kept small and local: 4px and 8px occur in home controls, 12px in the compact-control horizontal padding, and 16px in the chart-tab horizontal padding. The recorded radii are 3px for the sign-in control, 6px for the compact control, and 26px for a home badge. These are observations, not a universal radius scale.

Motion & Easing

The supplied evidence does not measure durations, easing curves, animated price changes, or transition behavior. No motion token or recommendation is claimed.

Components

Home sign-in control

Default

• Text: #79818F
• Border: 1px solid #AEB3BB
• Radius: 3px
• Padding: 0px 8px
• Height: 24px
• Font: 12px / 400 pretendardCoinone
• Hover: rgba(121, 129, 143, 0.05), from a 2026-09-16 live CSS inspection (claim method live-css-inspect). The 2026-07-13 bundle holds no state frame for this element and the value appears nowhere in it. The trading route's sign-in and sign-up buttons share this geometry and hue and record only transition frames (rgba(121, 129, 143, 0.008) on focus, alpha 0 on press), so the bundle neither confirms nor contradicts the value.
• Use: Public-home sign-in control; home::[data-omd-capture="14"].

Home compact control

Default

• Background: #FFFFFF
• Text: #040505
• Border: 1px solid #DDE4EB
• Radius: 6px
• Padding: 6px 12px
• Height: 32px
• Font: 13px / 500 pretendardCoinone
• Hover and pressed: rgba(61, 80, 137, 0.1), from the same 2026-09-16 live CSS inspection; the bundle holds no state frame for this element and the value appears nowhere in it.
• Row sibling: home::[data-omd-capture="58"], in the same row, records a 1px #040505 border and 13px / 700 at 112px × 32px. No aria-selected marks it, so it is described, not declared as a selected state.
• Use: Public-home compact product control; home::[data-omd-capture="59"].

Trading chart tab

Default

• Text: #18191C
• Padding: 0px 16px
• Height: 37px
• Font: 13px / 400 Spoqa Han Sans
• Selected: the tab with class is-active (surface-2::[data-omd-capture="48"]) records background #FFFFFF, a 1px #E0E0E0 border on top and sides, and 13px / 700.
• Use: Public BTC/KRW trading chart tab; surface-2::[data-omd-capture="49"].

Trading side tab

Default

• Text: #9E9E9E
• Height: 40px
• Font: 14px / 400 Spoqa Han Sans
• Use: Public BTC/KRW trading side tab; surface-2::[data-omd-capture="156"].

Exchange-home navigation link

Default (home-gnb-link)

• Background: transparent
• Text: #18191C
• Radius: 6px
• Padding: 6px 10px
• Height: 36px
• Font: 16px / 700 / 24px pretendardCoinone, letter-spacing 1px
• Hover: background rgba(23, 114, 248, 0.05)
• Pressed: background rgba(23, 114, 248, 0.05)
• Use: home::[data-omd-capture="3"] (a.gnb-link). Seven links (capture 3–9) record the same rest values, and all fourteen of their hover and pressed frames record the same tint. Its hue, rgb(23, 114, 248), is #1772F8, the rest fill of the trading sign-in button.

Exchange-home actions

Sign-up control (home-signup-outline): transparent, text #1772F8, border 1px #2076F4, 3px radius, 0px 8px, 24px high, 12px / 700 pretendardCoinone; home::[data-omd-capture="13"], beside the sign-in control.

Primary call to action (home-primary-cta): background #0B59D5, text #FFFFFF, border 1px #0B59D5, 8px radius, 14px 18px, 49px high, 15px / 700 / 19px pretendardCoinone; home::[data-omd-capture="15"]. Capture 104 records the same fill, radius, padding and type with a 0px border at 186px × 47px.

Secondary call to action (home-secondary-cta): background #FFFFFF, text #040505, border 1px #DDE4EB, 8px radius, 14px 18px, 49px high, 15px / 500 / 19px pretendardCoinone; home::[data-omd-capture="16"], beside the primary one.

App-download button (home-app-download-button): background #EBF0F5, text #040505, 10px radius, 13px padding, 48px high, 13px / 700 / 18px pretendardCoinone; home::[data-omd-capture="106"], inside the app-download article. Its sibling, capture 107, is the dark variant: background #040505, text #FFFFFF, same geometry and type.

Card (home-card): background #F4F7F9, 12px radius, 20px padding, 250px × 186px; home::[data-omd-capture="77"], fifteen occurrences. It is a container, so no label style is claimed.

Trading navigation icon button

Default (trading-nav-icon-button)

• Background: transparent
• Radius: 4px
• Size: 24px × 24px
• Hover: background #F5F7F9
• Pressed: background #F5F7F9
• Use: surface-2::[data-omd-capture="13"] (button.navigation-icon-wrapper). Single element: its hover and pressed frames agree exactly, an opaque fill over a transparent rest. It has no text node, so no label colour is claimed. The bundle's variant 47 uses the hover frame as its representative; that is not a rest value.

Trading-route controls

Sign-in button (trading-sign-in-button): background #1772F8, text #FFFFFF, 6px radius, 6px 0px, 32px high, 14px / 400 Spoqa Han Sans; surface-2::[data-omd-capture="44"].

Order button (trading-order-button): background #E12343, text #FFFFFF, 4px radius, 36px high, 306px wide, 14px / 700 / 16.8px Spoqa Han Sans; surface-2::[data-omd-capture="160"].

Ticker filter tag (trading-ticker-tag): background #F8F8F9, text #9E9E9E, border 1px transparent, 5px radius, 5px 8px, 30px high, 12px / 400 Spoqa Han Sans; surface-2::[data-omd-capture="16"] through "24". The first tag (capture 15, extra class trd-tickers-btn-tag) records background #F5F8FF, text #1772F8 and border 1px #1772F8; no aria-selected or active class marks it, so it is described, not declared as selected.

Ticker search input (trading-ticker-search): transparent, text #424242, 7px 24px 7px 0px, 299px × 30px, 14px / 400 Spoqa Han Sans, 0px border; surface-2::[data-omd-capture="14"]. No focus or error sample.

Corporate brand-page chrome (separate domain)

Measured on https://coinonecorp.com/company/brand (bundle surface-3). These are documentation chrome, recorded as corporate components; they do not populate exchange product tokens. Their computed stacks lead with Roboto, which the bundle classes as a system family, so no family is claimed.

Link list (brand-page-lnb-link): transparent, text #868E96, 15px / 400, 21px high; hover and pressed text #495057. surface-3::[data-omd-capture="9"] (a.lnb-link) near the page foot; nine links (capture 9–12, 14–16, 18, 19) record the same rest values, and all eighteen of their hover and pressed frames record #495057.

Ghost action (brand-page-ghost-button): transparent, text #868E96, border 1px #CED4DA, 5px radius, 0px 16px, 40px high, 15px / 400; surface-3::[data-omd-capture="7"] (a.btn-coinone-ghost2). Its hover and pressed frames record different partial values (background alpha 0.027 and 0.137; border #CFD5DB and #D3D8DE). Those are transition frames, so neither is declared.

How states were read

A state frame is the computed style the collector recorded with the pointer over an element (hover) or pressed on it; interactionCount: 0 counts dialog, tab, and menu expansions and says nothing about these frames. Three settled pointer states are declared above: the exchange-home navigation links, the trading navigation icon button, and the corporate link list. Frames that disagree with each other or move by a few channel units are transition frames; they are listed, not declared, in .verification.md. Focus is never declared from this bundle (§8). No disabled, menu, dialog, validation, toast, responsive, or logged-in variant is claimed. Corrected 2026-09-29: the July text said the static hover, focus, and pressed snapshots were not promoted because the bundle had no interaction record.

Verified: 2026-07-13 Tier 1 sources: https://coinone.co.kr/ (public exchange home), https://coinone.co.kr/exchange/trade/btc/krw (public trading surface), https://www.coinonecorp.com/company/brand (official brand guideline), and https://image-public.coinone.co.kr/download/corphome/coinone_guide_4.0.pdf (official brand-guideline PDF). Tier 2 sources: https://getdesign.md/coinone and https://styles.refero.design/?q=coinone were both attempted; built-in web open returned safe-open failures and subsequent web searches returned no Coinone record. No Tier 2 values were used. Conflicts unresolved: none

Legacy generic CTA, filter-chip, store-button, icon-button, trading-state, system-font, shadow, motion, and fallback-family claims were removed or narrowed where the 2026 supplied capture does not provide selector-backed product evidence.

States

Pointer states measured in the 2026-07-13 bundle (§4): the exchange-home navigation links take background rgba(23, 114, 248, 0.05) on hover and press (seven links agree); the trading navigation icon button takes background #F5F7F9 on hover and press (single element); the corporate brand-page link list turns from #868E96 to #495057 (nine links agree). The home sign-in and compact controls carry hover values from a 2026-09-16 live CSS inspection that the bundle cannot confirm (§4). Selected: the trading chart tab with class is-active. Focus is not declared (§8).

No empty, loading, success, validation-error, network-error, skeleton, disabled, toast, or responsive state was captured. These states are intentionally not specified for Coinone in this reference.

Live state probe, 2026-10-16 (https://coinone.co.kr/), home-primary-cta: focus — no visible change (measured 2026-10-16).

Governance

Accessibility

• The home compact control records #040505 text on white with a #DDE4EB border; the sign-in control records #79818F text with a #AEB3BB border.
• The capture holds three focus frames (home capture 12, trading captures 3 and 4), but the collector pressed the mouse before focusing each element, which leaves :focus-visible false, so none is a keyboard focus measurement and no focus-visible treatment is declared. Corrected 2026-09-29: the July text gave the missing interaction record as the reason.
• No accessibility conformance score, screen-reader behavior, validation behavior, or mobile target rule is claimed from these public captures.

Known Gaps

• Contrast, home-gnb-link. Text #18191c on #00000000 measures 1.19:1, below the WCAG AA 4.5:1 minimum for normal-size text. Recorded as measured, not adjusted.
• Contrast, trading-sign-in-button. Text #ffffff on #1772f8 measures 4.38:1, below the WCAG AA 4.5:1 minimum for normal-size text. Recorded as measured, not adjusted.
• Contrast, trading-ticker-tag. Text #9e9e9e on #f8f8f9 measures 2.52:1, below the WCAG AA 4.5:1 minimum for normal-size text. Recorded as measured, not adjusted.
• Contrast, trading-ticker-search. Text #424242 on #00000000 measures 2.09:1, below the WCAG AA 4.5:1 minimum for normal-size text. Recorded as measured, not adjusted.
