Who does what

Each style has one job. The specs come from the website and the Canva templates.

Logo and titles in graphics

Inter Black Italic, 900. Capitals, tight tracking, line height 0.9.

One day in.
One decision out.

Headlines on the website

Inter ExtraBold, 800. Sentence case, tracking -3.5%, line height 0.96. The second sentence can turn periwinkle.

One day in.
One decision out.

Lead

Inter Medium, 500. 18 to 26 px, line height 1.4.

Find out if your idea is worth a quarter, in a day. No dev team, no code.

Body text

Inter Regular, 400. 17 to 21 px, line height 1.5, body grey on paper.

Everyone can build anything now. Almost nobody stops to ask whether it is worth building. Here you start at the other end: the cheapest test that tells you whether anyone wants it.

Labels

Inter SemiBold, 600. 13 px, capitals, tracking +14%, indigo. On the website, labels are the only text in capitals.

The evening

Sublines in graphics

Inter Italic, 400. Soft violet on indigo, or white at half opacity on the aurora.

No code. AI does the typing.

Numbers

Inter ExtraBold, 800, with tabular figures so columns line up.

80 people.
80 prototypes.

One accent

Georgia Italic, used sparingly for a quote, like the manifesto line in the website footer.

“An idea that cannot survive a day is not worth a quarter.”

Sizes on the website

Headlines grow with the screen. Each bar runs from the phone size to the widest desktop size, in pixels.

Hero headline44 to 124 px
Section headline40 to 104 px
Big numbers36 to 66 px
Lead18 to 26 px
Body text17 to 21 px
Labels13 px

Backgrounds

The aurora is the signature.

A soft blur of blue and deep night with a warm glow in one corner, under a light film grain. It sits behind posts, slides, certificates and the homepage. Every background comes in 16:9 for slides, 4:5 for feed posts and 9:16 for stories, as full-quality JPG.

Aurora, night

The one I use most, for posts and the website. White text, white logo.

Aurora, paper

For light layouts, as on the About page. Ink text, black logo.

Indigo

The brand color, flat, with grain. White text, white logo.

Night to indigo

A calmer dark, as on the September tour page. White text, white logo.

Product Build Day is hands-on training in rapid product discovery: design the smartest, cheapest test for an idea, build the app that runs it with AI, check its usability and leave with a go or no-go on further investment.

Short85 words

Product Build Day trains product managers and designers in rapid product discovery. In one day they design the smartest, cheapest test for an idea, build a working app with AI tools without writing code, and check its usability with synthetic users. The emphasis is on validating the idea before anyone invests more: the day ends with a go or no-go on further investment, pitched to the people who decide. It runs as free community evenings, a one-day Pro training and private Teams days inside companies.

Marcin Klimaszewski, former Head of UX at Sanoma Learning, founded it in 2026. It has run six events, in Warsaw, Athens, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Berlin, plus a private day for a company in Thessaloniki, and 131 people have built with it so far. Every event is curated, and fewer than half of the applicants get a seat. Lovable sponsors the build tool and Uxia the synthetic user testing. The whole method is free to read in the Facilitator's Playbook, under a Creative Commons license.

Long bio117 words

Marcin Klimaszewski founded Product Build Day because building got cheap and deciding got hard. He trains product managers, product owners and designers to take an idea to a decision in one day: define the challenge and decide what metric would kill it, build a working app with AI, check its usability with synthetic users, design the cheapest test with real customers, then get a go or no-go from the people who hold the budget. 130+ people in six countries have built with him. With the same method he came second at TechArena 2026 in Stockholm, solo, against more than 90 people. He spoke on the main stage of How to Web 2026, is a Lovable Expert Partner.
