# Revolut Design System

## Overview

Revolut describes itself as: “Join 80+ million customers globally using Revolut to send money to 160+ countries, hold up-to 36 currencies in app, spend in 150+ currencies, and manage their money.” The interface is light, built on **White (#FFFFFF)** with **Charcoal (#1F1F1F)** text, and **Dark Blue (#28537C)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **Aeonik Pro** and **system-ui**. Headlines run large with tight negative tracking; body text is 16px. The surface language is flat. Controls are pill-shaped.

Measured from [revolut.com](https://www.revolut.com/) on November 6, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 247 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 11 roles.

- **White (#FFFFFF):** Page background, seen 8 times. Token `background`, CSS `--rui-color-on-accent`.
- **Charcoal (#1F1F1F):** Primary text and headings, seen 16 times. Token `on-surface`, CSS `--rui-color-foreground`.
- **Slate (#717173):** Secondary text, seen 6 times. Token `on-surface-variant`.
- **Snow (#F7F7F7):** Raised areas one step from the page, seen 1 time. Token `surface-container-low`, CSS `--rui-color-grey-2`.
- **Silver (#C9C9CD):** Cards and panels, seen 5 times. Token `surface-container`.
- **Charcoal 80% (#1F1F1FCC):** Translucent fill for cards and controls, seen 2 times. Token `overlay`.
- **Charcoal 8% (#1F1F1F14):** Stronger translucent fill, seen 1 time. Token `overlay-strong`.
- **Dark Blue (#28537C):** Brand color in logos and imagery. Token `primary`.
- **White (#FFFFFF):** Text and icons on primary. Token `on-primary`.
- **Near Black (#000000):** High-contrast fills, seen 5 times. Token `inverse-surface`.
- **Dark Blue (#386485):** Accent in logos and imagery. Token `secondary`.

## Typography

**Aeonik Pro**, **system-ui** and **Inter** share the interface. Fallback stack: `Aeonik Pro, sans-serif`.

- **headline-display:** Aeonik Pro 87.5px at weight 500, line height 1, tracking -0.024em (48px on mobile). Page title (h1).
- **headline-lg:** Aeonik Pro 52px at weight 500, line height 1, tracking -0.012em. Section headings (h2).
- **headline-md:** Aeonik Pro 24px at weight 500, line height 1.17, tracking -0.01em. Sub-section headings.
- **body-md:** system-ui 16px at weight 400. Body text.
- **body-lg:** Aeonik Pro 18px at weight 400, line height 1.33. Lead paragraphs.
- **body-sm:** Inter 12px at weight 400, line height 1.5, tracking 0.015em. Secondary and small text.
- **label-md:** Aeonik Pro 16px at weight 500, line height 1.38. Buttons, navigation and labels.
- **label-sm:** Inter 12px at weight 600, line height 1.5, tracking 0.01em. Small labels and badges.

## Layout

Spacing follows a 4px grid: 95% of measured gaps and paddings are multiples of 4px.

- **Scale:** xs 4px, sm 8px, md 10px, lg 24px, xl 40px.
- **Sections:** 48px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 8px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Container:** content is capped at 1000px.
- **Breakpoints:** 600px, 720px, 839px, 840px, 1199px, 1200px, 1600px, 1920px.

## Elevation & Depth

The design is flat: no shadows were measured. Hierarchy comes from tonal surface steps (#F7F7F7 → #C9C9CD).

## Shapes

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

- **full (9999px):** 40 elements.
- **md (20px):** 20 elements.
- **lg (50px):** 16 elements.
- **sm (12px):** 8 elements.

## Components

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

- **button-primary (“Send”):** #1F1F1F fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/400, 9999px radius, padding 0px 20px.
- **button-ghost (“Close”):** transparent fill, #1F1F1FCC text, 16px/400, 12px radius, padding 0px.
- **link:** transparent fill, #C9C9CD text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #FFFFFF for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #F7F7F7, #C9C9CD.
- Do keep text in 2 levels: #1F1F1F, #717173.
- Do use #28537C as the brand accent: header, logo and key highlights.
- Do set headlines in Aeonik Pro with tight tracking (-0.024em).
- Do keep spacing on the 4px grid.
- Do make buttons and chips fully rounded (9999px); most other elements use 20px corners.
- Don't add drop shadows for depth; use tonal surfaces.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Aeonik Pro, system-ui and Inter.
- Don't use #28537C for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.3s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.3s, 0.15s, 0.2s.

- **Easing:** `cubic-bezier(0.15, 0.5, 0.5, 1)`, `ease`, `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.3, 0.8, 0.6)`.
- **Reduced motion:** the page responds to `prefers-reduced-motion`.
