# ClickUp Design System

## Overview

ClickUp describes itself as: “Our mission is to make the world more productive. To do this, we built the everything app for work - Tasks, Docs, Goals, and Chat.” The interface is light, built on **White (#FFFFFF)** with **Slate (#646464)** text, and **Vivid Amber (#FFC53D)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **Plus Jakarta Sans** and **Inter**, with **Sometype Mono** for code. Headlines run large with tight negative tracking; body text is 16px. Depth comes from soft drop shadows. Corners are mostly 8px.

Measured from [clickup.com](https://clickup.com/) on October 21, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 435 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 18 roles, plus gradient stops #0091FF, #A43CB4, #F100E3, #FA24CE.

## Typography

**Plus Jakarta Sans**, **Inter** and **Sometype Mono** (monospace) share the interface. Fallback stack: `Plus Jakarta Sans`.

- **headline-display:** Plus Jakarta Sans 60px at weight 700, line height 1.1, tracking -0.035em (38px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Plus Jakarta Sans 48px at weight 650, line height 1.25, tracking -0.035em (34px on mobile). Section headings (h2).
- **headline-md:** Plus Jakarta Sans 40px at weight 650, line height 1.2, tracking -0.04em. Sub-section headings.
- **headline-sm:** Plus Jakarta Sans 26px at weight 650, line height 1.25, tracking -0.035em (15px on mobile). Card and feature titles.
- **body-md:** Plus Jakarta Sans 16px at weight 400, line height 1.5. Body text.
- **body-lg:** Inter 18px at weight 500, line height 1.33, tracking -0.02em. Lead paragraphs.
- **body-sm:** Inter 12px at weight 400, line height 1.5. Secondary and small text.
- **label-lg:** Inter 16px at weight 500, line height 1.33, tracking -0.016em. Large buttons and tabs.
- **label-md:** Inter 15px at weight 500, line height 1.47, tracking -0.01em. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **label-sm:** Inter 14px at weight 500, line height 1. Small labels and badges.
- **code:** Sometype Mono 14px at weight 500, line height 1.29. Code and technical values.

## Layout

Spacing does not follow a strict grid: 50% of measured values are multiples of 4px, so match the measured steps rather than rounding to a grid.

- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 5px, md 10px, lg 24px, xl 56px.
- **Sections:** 80px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 10px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Container:** content is capped at 1440px.
- **Page margin:** 20px on each side of full-width sections.
- **Breakpoints:** 400px, 500px, 600px, 768px, 900px, 1000px, 1100px, 1160px, 1200px, 1400px, 1440px.

## Elevation & Depth

Raised elements use soft drop shadows. The most used recipes:

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px -1px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.55) 0px -13px 32px 0px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.55) 0px -12px 29px 0px`

## Shapes

Most elements use 8px corners. Measured radii, most used first:

- **sm (8px):** 44 elements.
- **md (12px):** 44 elements.
- **xs (6px):** 28 elements.
- **xl (54px):** 28 elements.
- **full (9999px):** 16 elements.
- **lg (16px):** 12 elements.

## Components

Measured from the rendered page. Token values reference the tokens above.

- **button-primary (“Sign Up”):** #202020 fill, #FFFFFF text, 14px/600, 8px radius, padding 8px 12px.
- **button-primary-hover:** background #202020CC, text #FFFFFF on hover.
- **button-outline (“The Best AI is”):** #E8E8E8 fill, #202020 text, 14px/600, 54px radius, padding 4px 12px.
- **button-ghost (“Login”):** #F0F0F0 fill, #000000 text, 14px/600, 8px radius, padding 8px 12px.
- **card:** #000000 fill, #292D34 text, 16px/400, padding 0px 0px 80px 0px.
- **link:** transparent fill, #646464 text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #FFFFFF for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #E7F9F5, #FEEFF6, #F0F0F0, #ECECEF.
- Do keep text in 4 levels: #646464, #202020, #8A8A94, #B4B4B4.
- Do use #FFC53D as the brand accent: header, logo and key highlights.
- Do set headlines in Plus Jakarta Sans with tight tracking (-0.035em).
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (5px, 10px, 24px).
- Do use 8px corners on most elements; larger surfaces also use 12px, 6px and 54px.
- Don't use #8A8A94 for body text; it reaches 3.4:1 on #FFFFFF. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't use #B4B4B4 for body text; it reaches 2.1:1 on #FFFFFF. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Plus Jakarta Sans, Inter and Sometype Mono.
- Don't use #FFC53D for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.2s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 1e-05s, 0.2s.

- **Easing:** `ease`, `cubic-bezier(0.5, 0, 0.5, 1)`, `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`.
- **Reduced motion:** the page responds to `prefers-reduced-motion`.
