### What is the Cypress design system?

The design system on this page is cypress.io’s, as measured on November 4, 2026: Poppins type, #007780 as the main color and 4px corners, written down as a DESIGN.md. It is not Cypress’s own documentation.

### What is Cypress built with?

### What is the Cypress DESIGN.md?

A plain-text file with Cypress’s measured colors, type, spacing, corners and components as tokens, plus short rules, in the DESIGN.md format Google published with Stitch. Your AI coding agent reads it and builds in this style. More about DESIGN.md.

### How do I use it with Claude Code or Cursor?

Download the file and put it in your project’s root folder, then ask your agent to follow DESIGN.md. Step-by-step guides: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot.

### Is this Cypress’s official design system?

No. Sitepeel measured it from cypress.io’s public page on November 4, 2026. It is an independent analysis, not made or approved by Cypress.

### Can I use Cypress’s style in my own product?

Use it to learn, prototype and compare. For a real product, make the style your own, and never copy Cypress’s logo, name, pictures or text.

### How accurate are the values?

Each value was measured on the rendered page after it fully loaded, on desktop and mobile: colors where they appear, type with tracking, spacing, corners, shadows and hover states. Sites change, so check the date at the top.

# Cypress Design System

## Overview

Cypress describes itself as: “Your AI writes the code. Cypress proves it works: end-to-end tests in a real browser, failures you can rewind, and coverage and accessibility on every run.” The interface is light, built on **White (#FFFFFF)** with **Indigo (#5A5F7A)** text, and **Dark Cyan (#007780)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **Poppins** and **Roboto**, with **Roboto Mono** for code. Headlines run large; body text is 16px. Depth comes from soft drop shadows. Controls are pill-shaped.

Measured from [cypress.io](https://www.cypress.io/#create) on November 4, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 437 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 14 roles, plus gradient stops #4956E3, #7F43C9, #00814D.

- **White (#FFFFFF):** Page background, seen 37 times. Token `background`, CSS `--osano-button-reject-all-foreground-color`.
- **Indigo (#5A5F7A):** Primary text and headings, seen 78 times. Token `on-surface`.
- **Deep Indigo (#1B1E2E):** Headings and emphasis, seen 10 times. Token `on-surface-strong`.
- **Deep Cyan (#003131):** Secondary text, seen 5 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Indigo (#9095AD):** Muted text and metadata, seen 16 times. Token `on-surface-muted`.
- **Light Violet 25% (#C8A7F540):** Translucent fill for cards and controls, seen 1 time. Token `overlay`.
- **Light Violet 50% (#C8A7F580):** Stronger translucent fill, seen 1 time. Token `overlay-strong`.
- **Cool Mist (#E1E3ED):** Borders and dividers, seen 28 times. Token `outline`.
- **Teal (#69D3A7):** Secondary dividers, seen 1 time. Token `outline-variant`.
- **Dark Cyan (#007780):** Primary buttons and calls to action, seen 18 times. Token `primary`.

- **Teal (#69D3A7):** Success and positive states, seen 13 times. Token `success`.

## Typography

**Poppins**, **Roboto** and **Roboto Mono** (monospace) share the interface. Fallback stack: `Poppins, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI`.

- **headline-display:** Poppins 48px at weight 700, line height 1.5 (32px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Poppins 40px at weight 700, line height 1.38. Section headings (h2).
- **body-md:** Roboto 16px at weight 400, line height 1.5. Body text.
- **body-lg:** Roboto 18px at weight 400, line height 1.56. Lead paragraphs.
- **body-sm:** Poppins 14px at weight 400, line height 1.43. Secondary and small text.
- **label-md:** Roboto 16px at weight 500, line height 1.5. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **label-sm:** Roboto 14px at weight 500, line height 1.5. Small labels and badges.
- **code:** Roboto Mono 16px at weight 400, line height 1.5. Code and technical values.

## Layout

Spacing is mostly on a 4px grid (89% of measured values), with some off-grid steps. Match the measured scale rather than rounding everything.

- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 8px, md 16px, lg 24px, xl 48px.
- **Sections:** 72px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 8px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Breakpoints:** 376px, 768px, 1200px.

## Elevation & Depth

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

- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 2px 12px 0px`
- `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 2px 12px 0px`

## Shapes

Interactive controls are pill-shaped. Measured radii, most used first:

- **md (4px):** 140 elements.
- **full (9999px):** 36 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-primary (“Sign up”):** #007780 fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/500, 9999px radius, padding 4px 12px 4px 16px.
- **button-primary-hover:** background #00595D, text #FFFFFF on hover.
- **button-secondary (“Open Support Assistant”):** #4956E3 fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/500, 9999px radius, padding 0px, border 1px solid #4956E3.
- **button-outline (“Book a demo”):** transparent fill, #007780 text, 16px/500, 4px radius, padding 11px 20px, border 1px solid #007780.
- **button-ghost (“Contact sales”):** transparent fill, #5A5F7A text, 16px/500, padding 0px 0px 0px 12px.
- **input-field (“Install command”):** transparent fill, #2E3247 text, 16px/400, padding 0px 44px 0px 0px.
- **card:** #FFFFFF fill, #1B1E2E text, 16px/400, 4px radius, padding 24px, border 1px solid #E1E3ED, shadow `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.06) 0px 2px 12px 0px`.
- **link:** transparent fill, #00595D text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #FFFFFF for the page.
- Do keep text in 4 levels: #5A5F7A, #1B1E2E, #003131, #9095AD.
- Do reserve #007780 for primary actions and key highlights.
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 16px, 24px).
- Do make buttons and chips fully rounded (9999px); most other elements use 4px corners.
- Don't use #9095AD for body text; it reaches 2.96:1 on #FFFFFF. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Poppins, Roboto and Roboto Mono.
- Don't use #007780 for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.3s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.15s, 0.3s. Longer ambient animations run 4s.

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