Klarna design system

What font does Klarna use?

Klarna’s website uses Klarna Title for headings and Klarna Text for body text. Klarna Title is not on Google Fonts; the closest free match is Archivo; Klarna Text is not on Google Fonts; the closest free match is Figtree.

Klarna colour palette

Klarna’s home page is light (#FFFFFF background, #0B051D text) and uses #0B051D for its main actions. Its palette: #FFFFFF, #0B051D, #F9F8F5, #000000, #C4C3CA, #E2E2E7.

Type scale

Each size the page sets text in, with its weight and line height. Klarna’s largest type is 66px at weight 400.

Spacing and shape

Spacing sits on a 4px grid: 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px, 64px, 72px, 80px.

Corner radii: 2px, 3px, 8px, 10px, 17px, 20px, pill. 2 shadow levels measured.

What makes Klarna look like Klarna

Almost entirely neutral: 100% of the page is painted in #FFFFFF and #0B051D.

The largest type (66px Klarna Title) is regular weight, not bold (400), tracked to 0.005em.

Very airy: text covers 5% of the page.

Structure comes from thin grid lines, not from shadows or filled cards.

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

As CSS variables

The measured values as CSS custom properties, with free fonts standing in for licensed ones. Use them to learn from or to start a project in a similar style; Klarna’s name, logo, words and images are theirs.

How this was measured

PikSpec’s scanner read the klarna.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.
