Letterboxd Mobile — design system & UI screens

Entertainment · 11 screens · letterboxd.com

A social film discovery and rating platform where users explore movies, read reviews from friends, create lists, and track their film journal. The screen displays a tabbed feed layout (Films, Reviews, Lists, Journal) with curated movie carousels: "Popular this week" shows trending films, "New from friends" surfaces recent activity with friend avatars and star ratings below each title, and "Popular with friends" showcases communal hits. Each film is presented as a rounded-corner card with poster imagery and optional metadata layers.

Decoded design system

Letterboxd Mobile's decoded design system: background #181B20, text #FFFFFF, accent #BB0233, link #BB0233, primary #BB0233; type scale h1 34px / h2 22px / body 17px; 8px spacing base; 12px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #BB0233 — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Using these colors

Action color #BB0233 — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, accent, link, button_bg are all #BB0233 — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #BB0233 — 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.
