Design Kit
The TAU Protocol design system embodies a bold, modern aesthetic that reflects the precision and innovation of decentralized finance. Built around a clean dark theme accented by vibrant orange gradients, it conveys both authority and energy — aligning with TAU’s position as a next-generation derivatives exchange.
The logo’s geometric form symbolizes balance and stability, while the consistent iconography ensures scalability across platforms and screen sizes. Typography is anchored by the Poppins typeface, chosen for its clarity and modern proportions, establishing a strong visual hierarchy from large, impactful headings to compact body text. A structured icon system with hover states and defined size variations reinforces usability and coherence across interfaces.
Every element — from color contrast to spacing — is designed to enhance legibility, convey trust, and maintain visual consistency across website and dashboard environments, ultimately creating a user experience that feels professional, technical, and intuitively precise.
