Type scale

Each size the page sets text in, with its weight and line height. Brex’s largest type is 72px at weight 500.

Spacing and shape

Spacing sits on a 4px grid: 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 28px, 32px, 40px, 48px, 72px, 80px.

Corner radii: 3px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 10px. 2 shadow levels measured.

What makes Brex look like Brex

Almost entirely neutral: 99% of the page is painted in #FFFFFF and #000710.

#FF3D00 is an accent: 0.5% of the page, used for backgrounds and text and small fills such as buttons. Don't fill large areas with it.

#42578A is an accent: under 0.1% of the page, used for lines only. Don't fill large areas with it.

The largest type (72px inter) is medium weight, not bold (500), tracked to -0.02em.

Brex 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 Brex’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 Brex’s product, so use your own name, words and images.

How this was measured

PikSpec’s scanner read the brex.com home page in Chrome at 1440px wide on 15 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.
