Fly.io — Design System
Fly.io writes infrastructure docs like a storybook: P22 Mackinac serif at 64px/500 in blurple-navy #281950, 19px body, violet #7C3AED buttons with the signature lopsided 8/20/20/8 radius, and hot-air-balloon illustrations over hard engineering copy. The whimsy is load-bearing — it's how a bare-metal platform tells developers the sharp edges are intentional and documented.
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/fly-io.
Tokens
Fly.io's decoded design system: background #F1F2F9, text #0A0A0B, accent #7C3AED, link #7C3AED, primary #5A4F7A; type scale h1 64px / h2 36px / body 18px; 4px spacing base; 8px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #7C3AED — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.
