Linear
Plan and build products with your team and AI agents
The style
A calm, dark product language. A near-black canvas with soft white text, headlines in medium-weight Inter set just slightly tight, and quiet grey supporting copy. Light pill buttons stand out against the dark, a muted indigo marks the brand, and panels float on faint hairline edges with a blurred, see-through navigation bar. It feels precise, fast and focused.

Layout
1376px 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.
- fast90ms
- base150ms
- slow250ms
ease-standard
ease-enter
ease-exit
Principles
- Motion is brisk and functional — it confirms, it doesn't perform.
- Animate opacity and transform only; avoid animating layout.
- Respect prefers-reduced-motion by replacing movement with instant state changes or fades.
