PayPal

An online wallet for paying, sending and getting paid

The style

A bold, friendly payments language. Heavy, tightly tracked sans headlines sit on clean white, black pills carry every main action, and cool blues give the brand its trust. Big 24px-cornered panels in pale grey-blue hold the product, and a springy ease makes small interactions feel lively.

Borders: 1px hairline · Surfaces: flat

Layout

1416px container · 12 columns · 24px gutters

Patterns

Split hero: message left, supporting visual or product frame right.
Twelve-column grid; content blocks usually span 4, 6 or 8 columns.
Full-bleed bands for feature sections, inner content capped at the container.
Reading text limited to roughly 65–72 characters per line.

Responsive principles

Below md, grids collapse to a single column and side gutters drop to 16px.
Type steps above h2 scale down one step on small screens.
Navigation collapses to a disclosure menu below lg.
Touch targets stay at least 44×44px on every breakpoint.

Motion

Durations and easing curves. Previews respect your reduced-motion setting.

base

ease-standard

ease-exit

Principles

Motion is measured and calm, easing into place rather than snapping.
Animate opacity and transform only; avoid animating layout.
Respect prefers-reduced-motion by replacing movement with instant state changes or fades.
