Axiom — design system & UI screens

Analytics · 2 screens · 22 sections · axiom.co

A near-black observability landing rendered almost entirely in a monospaced terminal typeface, where the signature element is ASCII-character texture — fields of chevrons (>), dollar signs, slashes and plus marks that fill card backgrounds and the hero's right margin like animated code rain. The hero pairs a "~/" shell prompt with a left-aligned "Observability re-invented" headline, an orange "Book a demo" button, and a large product query-console screenshot bleeding below it. Repeated patterns include three-up feature cards with glyph-filled headers, a tabbed use-case panel, two outlined pricing cards (Axiom Cloud / self-serve enterprise), a horizontal case-study carousel, and a footer that ends in a giant ">>>> AXIOM, INC." ASCII banner.

Decoded design system

Axiom's decoded design system: background #000000, text #6B7280, accent #DA5C2C, link #569CD6, primary #DA5C2C; type scale h1 32px / h2 24px / body 14px; 8px spacing base; 4px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #DA5C2C — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#000000`
surface	`#060607`
border	`#101113`
text	`#6B7280`
text_muted	`#42464F`
primary	`#DA5C2C`
accent	`#DA5C2C`
link	`#569CD6`
secondary	`#6B7280`
button_bg	`#DA5C2C`
button_text	`#FFFFFF`

Using these colors

Action color #DA5C2C — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, button_bg are all #DA5C2C — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #DA5C2C — THE accent / action color — interactive & must-notice only (buttons, links, focus, one key highlight); never large fills or backgrounds. Scarcity is what makes it read as designed.
link #569CD6 — inline text links and link-styled controls.
secondary #6B7280 — optional secondary accent — LOW decode confidence; use rarely (a status color or a single decorative moment) or omit it entirely. Prefer one accent unless the reference clearly shows two.
