Crypto.

Electric editorial design for crypto and Web3 — electric lime on deep dark, bracket-style CTAs, display-scale type, and code-syntax aesthetics that signal technical credibility before a line of product is shipped.

01 · The Vibe

This crypto design has its own visual language — massive bold headlines in electric lime green on deep forest dark backgrounds, curly braces wrapped around key words like code, and wireframe globe illustrations that signal "we're building the future of finance" without saying it out loud. It's editorial and technical at the same time, aggressive in its type scale but surprisingly restrained in its color. If your product lives anywhere near blockchain, DeFi, or Web3, this is the vibe for you.

02 · Best For / Avoid If
+ Best For
+Crypto wallets, exchanges, and trading platforms
+DeFi protocols and Web3 infrastructure products
+Blockchain developer tools and APIs
+NFT platforms and digital asset marketplaces
+Any crypto startup that needs to look credible before it has users
+Finance and fintech products that want to signal being on the cutting edge of the new financial system
× Avoid If
×Your product has nothing to do with crypto, finance, or tech — this aesthetic is so specific it creates the wrong expectations immediately
×Your audience skews non-technical or older — the aggressive type scale and dark color treatment can feel intimidating to users who aren't crypto-native
×You need warm and approachable above everything else — Crypto design is bold and confident, not gentle
03 · Design Philosophy
01

Type at this scale is a statement

The headlines are the primary visual element, filling the screen in a way that says "we have something to say." This means font choice matters more than almost anything else. You need a wide, heavy grotesque with tight tracking, or the whole thing falls flat.

02

The palette is the brand

Electric lime on forest dark green reads as "money growing," "go signal," and "digital-native" all at once. Two colors used with discipline are more powerful than ten. Adding a third is usually where it starts to fall apart.

03

Code syntax as design language

The curly braces around words, the bracket CTAs, the monospace body text — these signal "we're from the internet, we speak your language." It's a deliberate in-group marker that says technically credible before the product does anything to prove it.

04 · Use With Claude / Cursor
Claude
01Click 'Customize', then go to 'Skills'
02Go to 'Create Skills' and upload the skill.md file
03Put the design.md file in your project's knowledge base
04Mention the skill name as you build — Claude applies it automatically
Cursor
01Place SKILL.md and DESIGN.md in your repo root
02Open .cursor/rules and add @SKILL.md @DESIGN.md
03Restart Cursor for the rules to apply
04Build normally — mention the skill name to invoke it automatically
★ PRO TIP

Before building with Claude Code, drop SKILL.md and DESIGN.md into Claude Design first. Use it to generate mockups and nail the visual direction — then hand those references to Claude Code. You'll get significantly higher quality output than going straight to code.

05 · Watch Out For
! WARNING
Lime green on lime green
The accent only works against the dark background — the moment it sits on a lighter surface, it loses its power completely. Keep lime for type and accents on dark surfaces only.
! WARNING
Wrong font choice
The aggressive type scale only works with a wide, heavy grotesque — no rounded or humanist sans-serifs. Swap in the wrong font and the whole thing goes soft.
! WARNING
Bracket and brace overuse
The {word} and [ action ] treatments are powerful as accents. Applied to everything, they become noise and lose the technical credibility signal entirely.
! WARNING
Forgetting secondary text
Not everything can be lime. Body text needs to be a muted off-white or low-opacity lime — full brightness everywhere kills the hierarchy and is exhausting to read.
