Findy Design System
Findy is a friendly, businesslike job board. It is almost monochrome: white and a cool pale grey (#F4F4F6) for backgrounds, and one deep midnight navy (#1D2445) for nearly all text, buttons and lines (white only on navy buttons and photos). Headlines are bold Archivo in Title Case, and the page is lightened by flat navy-and-white line-art people and bright city photos that carry the only colour.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- One navy, many alphas. Text is #1D2445 at 100%, paragraphs at 75%, category links at 80%, and borders at 5%, 10% and 15% of the same navy.
- The search hero. A pale-grey 85vh band with a centred column 540px wide: an underlined eyebrow (We are your future), a 65px two-line headline, a 17px subline, a white search field with a magnifier and a navy Search Job button, and a Popular Categories: link row. Line-art illustrations of job seekers stand in the side columns.
- Hairline-bordered white tiles. Category chips, job cards and tags are white boxes with a 1px navy-10% border and small radii (6px chips, 10px cards, 5px tags). Nothing has a shadow.
- Underlined eyebrows. Every section label (We are your future, Get Findy App Now, What They Think) is a short 15px semibold line with a 1px navy-15% rule right under it.

Do’s and don’ts
- Use #1D2445 for all text and control it with alpha: 75% for paragraphs, 80% for links, 10% for borders.
- Alternate white and #F4F4F6 sections with 100px vertical padding and a 1240px container.
- Set headlines in Archivo 700 with Title Case (capitalize), and labels at 600.
- Build cards, chips and tags as white boxes with a 1px #1D24451A border and 10 / 6 / 5px radii.
- Put an underlined 15px eyebrow above most section titles (the job section title has none).
- Fade location photos to navy 80% at the bottom before placing white text.
- Add shadows, gradients on UI, or a brand accent colour.
- Use pure black or a neutral grey for body text; use navy at 75%.
- Use #B6B6B6 or #AAAAAA for anything people need to read; they are about 2:1 on white. Keep them for the current nav item and faint meta only.
- Use radii above 10px or full pills for buttons.
- Mix in other illustration styles; keep line art in one navy.
- Animate more than a 300ms colour change on hover.
