Red Hat's design system is an open, community-driven system built to empower teams to create branded digital experiences that reflect the brand's core traits: open, authentic, helpful, and brave.
Red Hat®
Built around the core proposition of "Open source meets open design," the interface uses a clean, functional aesthetic with a signature red (#EE0000) that commands attention and communicates passion, collaboration, and innovation. The typography is anchored by the custom Red Hat font family — Red Hat Display, Red Hat Text, and Red Hat Mono — designed for exceptional legibility across all devices and reflecting the brand's technical expertise and human touch. Every design decision — from the responsive layout system and comprehensive PatternFly component library to the accessible color palette and consistent hybrid style — reinforces the brand's promise of making enterprise technology feel approachable, intuitive, and human-centered.
The system excels in creating a sense of clarity and purpose through consistent visual cues: clear hierarchy, purposeful whitespace, and logical interaction patterns that guide users through complex enterprise workflows. The result is a design language that feels both powerful and approachable, transforming enterprise technology into tools that enable innovation and collaboration.
