Klarna — design system & UI screens
Klarna's landing leads with a full-bleed photographic hero (a phone clipped to jeans showing the Klarna app) overlaid with a giant ultra-bold "Your money treated right" headline and a pink pill "Get the app" CTA. The signature element is the editorial typographic rhythm — a centered, oversized stacked product index (Payments, Cards, Memberships, Balance, Savings, Cashback, Shopping, Mobile) set in heavy black display type, capped by a colossal full-width "Klarna" wordmark in the dark footer. Soft baby-pink CTA blocks and a Trustpilot review carousel reinforce the playful, high-contrast fintech identity.

Decoded design system
Klarna's decoded design system: background #FFFFFF, text #0B051D, accent #FFA8CD, link #0B051D, primary #FFA8CD; type scale h1 84px / h2 84px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 20px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #FFA8CD — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.
