Design System

Design System Inspiration of Zapier

A workflow-automation brand whose surface combines warm-cream neutrals (#fffefb canvas, #f8f4f0 soft cream) with deep coffee ink (#201515) and a single saturated orange CTA accent (#ff4f00). Type pairs the proprietary Degular Display family at hero scale with Inter for sub-displays and body, giving the brand a confident-warm rather than cool-tech voice.

Color Palette

A single orange on warm cream.

The brand operates from a single chromatic signature — Zapier orange — used as every primary CTA. It sits against a warm-cream canvas, never pure white, and pairs with deep coffee ink, never pure black. Every neutral in the ladder is warm-toned; there is no cool grey in the system.

Typography

Two faces, two roles.

Degular Display weight 500 carries the loud moments — hero displays and the UPPERCASE eyebrow. Inter handles everything else: sub-displays, body, links, buttons. Hero is 56 px / weight 500 / sentence case; the brand never uppercases display sizes. (Substitute used here: Inter weight 500 in place of proprietary Degular Display.)

Button Variants

Four roles, one 12 px shape.

Every CTA shares the 12 px middle radius — not a pill, not a square. Primary is saturated orange, secondary is dark coffee ink, tertiary is an outline on cream, and text-only sits inside nav and cards.

Elevation & Depth

Three levels, no shadow.

The brand carries elevation through surface contrast and 1 px hairline borders — never drop shadows. Cream-on-canvas IS the visual lift.

Level 0 — Flat No shadow, no border. Default for hero text.
Level 1 — Hairline 1 px solid ink border. Pricing cards and outline buttons.
Level 2 — Soft Card Canvas card on cream wrap. Surface contrast IS the elevation.

Signature Components

The pieces that make this Zapier.

A cream hero band hosting the 56 px Degular weight 500 headline, a polarity-flipped dark coffee hero, a cream content band that follows hero, the UPPERCASE Degular eyebrow with positive tracking, and the cream badge-pill for in-product status.
