Apron. Butcher paper bakery ledger.

  • Finance
  • Light theme
  • 7 colors
  • 4 typefaces

Apron wears a warm bakery-counter aesthetic: buttercream canvas, thick slab-serif display type, pill-shaped CTAs in vivid school-bus yellow, and bone-black text that snaps against the cream. The visual logic is "honest ledger on butcher paper" — confident, slightly retro, unapologetically saturated. Surfaces stack in warm cream tones (not cool grays), borders are hairline black rather than soft shadows, and the only chromatic accent is a single yellow that means "act now." Components feel handmade rather than enterprise — rounded cards, chunky buttons, and a custom display face (Champ) that signals brand voice before any copy is read.

Apron design system

Apron

Brand1

  • Primary CTA fill, brand accent — school-bus yellow that carries the only chromatic voice in the system, reserved exclusively for action surfaces

Neutrals6

  • Primary text, borders, icon strokes, and structural outlines — near-universal use, defines the high-contrast ledger feel

  • Secondary surfaces and muted structural fills where warm cream is too light to carry a block

  • Neutral button borders and subtle dividers where pure black would be too heavy

  • Faint cool-tinted neutral for secondary surface layers and quiet dividers

  • Page canvas, card surfaces, and warm backgrounds — the dominant neutral that gives the entire UI its sun-warmed temperature

  • Reversed text on dark fills, surface inversion, and contrast pairings against black
