Penpot — Design System
Penpot designs open-source in Work Sans at 72px/400, deep indigo #151035 on white, with teal #14CECA buttons at 8px radius and hand-drawn accents scribbled over the grid. Canvas UI and code-inspect panels alternate — the Figma alternative wearing an open-source Google font as a matter of principle, roughed up just enough to feel community-made.
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/penpot.
