Klim Type Foundry — design system & UI screens
Restrained editorial type-foundry landing; a minimalist black fork specimen illustration set on a soft gray field with a small orange 'Die Grotesk' tag and a quiet Klim Type Foundry / Fonts nav. Swiss, specimen-led.

Decoded design system
Klim Type Foundry's decoded design system: background #000000, text #FFFFFF, accent #D33C03, link #0000FF, primary #D33C03; type scale h1 16px / h2 16px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 2px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #D33C03 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Using these colors
- Action color
#D33C03— the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills. primary,accentare all#D33C03— one role, not several (the action color).- accent
#D33C03— 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
#0000FF— fails contrast on the background (~2.4:1) — this is a dark UI color, NOT a readable link; use the text or action color for links (verify against the reference). - secondary
#24A7F2— 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.
