Figma vs V7 Labs

Figma runs a light-canvas system while V7 Labs chose both, and they pair different display families (figmaSans vs sans-serif). Beyond surface, motion divides them — Figma is expressive, V7 Labs is moderate.

Palette & spacing overlap

Their palettes share 14% of swatches at the dominant tier — a quiet signal both teams drew from the same neutral library before applying brand accents. Their spacing scales overlap by 75% (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 px shared) — a rhythm any agent can transfer between the two systems with minimal recalibration.

Curator verdict

Pick a side. Mixing Figma's light-first canvas with V7 Labs's moderate motion vocabulary produces visual whiplash. Adopt one system as your primary, study the other for individual technique transfers (e.g. Figma's spacing, V7 Labs's shadow).
