Descript — Design System
Descript edits video in editorial type: Gamuth Display at 88px/400 on blush #FFF7FA, Booton at 18px for the working copy, and Brett serif eyebrows in signal red #F73B3B marking each section like chapter numbers. Plum 12px-radius buttons and timeline UI screenshots round out a page that treats an AI video editor like a magazine feature about one.
This is a static, crawlable rendering for search & AI engines. The interactive version — filters, live decode console, copy & export — is at https://mozaika.design/ds/descript.
Tokens
Descript's decoded design system: background #FFF7FA, text #1A1A1A, accent #F73B3B, link #651A39, primary #390A1A; type scale h1 88px / h2 40px / body 18px; 8px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #F73B3B — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.
