Airtable design system

What font does Airtable use?

Airtable’s website uses Haas for headings and body text. Haas is not on Google Fonts; the closest free match is Figtree.

Airtable colour palette

Airtable’s home page is light (#FFFFFF background, #333840 text) and uses #181D26 for its main actions. Its palette: #FFFFFF, #FAF5E8, #912E1F, #CCCCCC, #F8FAFC, #FCAB79.

Type scale

Each size the page sets text in, with its weight and line height. Airtable’s largest type is 40px at weight 400.

Spacing and shape

Spacing sits on a 4px grid: 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px, 64px, 72px, 96px.

Corner radii: 2px, 4px, 6px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, pill. 3 shadow levels measured.

What makes Airtable look like Airtable

Almost entirely neutral: 94% of the page is painted in #FFFFFF and #FAF5E8.

#912E1F is an accent: 3.2% of the page, as one of a few coloured bands or panels. Use it for a band or two, never as the page ground.

#FCAB79 is an accent: 1.7% of the page, as small fills such as buttons and badges. Keep it to small areas.

The largest type (40px Haas) is regular weight, not bold (400).

Airtable DESIGN.md for Claude Code, Cursor and Lovable

A DESIGN.md is the brief an AI coding tool reads before it writes UI. This one carries everything on this page as rules a model follows: the allowed colours and what each is for, the fonts with free stand-ins, the type scale, spacing, corners, and the things Airtable’s design never does.

Put it in your project root and ask your tool to follow it: “Read DESIGN.md and build [your product] in this design language.” It describes a style, not Airtable’s product, so use your own name, words and images.

How this was measured

PikSpec’s scanner read the airtable.com home page in Chrome at 1440px wide on 14 October 2026: the computed styles of its elements, the fonts that rendered and how much of the page each colour covers. Websites change; capture the page yourself with PikSpec for today’s values, any page, and exports in five formats.
