Revolut (iOS) — Jetpack Compose Implementation Guide

Companion to DESIGN.md — the framework-neutral spec. This file ports Revolut’s visual language to Android with Jetpack Compose (Material 3): a color token object, the brand gradient, a Typography set, paste-ready @Composables, Modifiers, motion, and haptics.

Why a Compose guide for an iOS-referenced app? The DESIGN.md tokens are platform-neutral. This file keeps the visual identity (Revolut’s cool near-black canvas, the violet→purple brand gradient, the metal-card hero, the spend donut) while making everything idiomatic Android — NavigationBar instead of a UITabBar, Brush.linearGradient instead of LinearGradient, sp/dp instead of pt.

Assumes Compose BOM 2024.09+, Kotlin 2.0+, minSdk 24, Material 3, and Coil 2.6+ for images.

1. Color Tokens

// ui/theme/RevolutColors.kt
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Brush
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.Color

object RevolutColors {
    // Canvas & Surfaces
    val Canvas   = Color(0xFF0A0A0F)
    val Surface1 = Color(0xFF16161F)
    val Surface2 = Color(0xFF1E1E2A)
    val Surface3 = Color(0xFF28283A)
    val Divider  = Color(0xFF2A2A38)
    val Border   = Color(0xFF33334A)

    // Text
    val TextPrimary   = Color(0xFFFFFFFF)
    val TextSecondary = Color(0xFF9A9AAA)
    val TextTertiary  = Color(0xFF6A6A7E)

    // Brand
    val GradStart    = Color(0xFF5B6BFF)
    val GradEnd      = Color(0xFF9C6BFF)
    val Brand        = Color(0xFF6B5BFF) // solid fallback
    val BrandPressed = Color(0xFF5648D6)
    val BrandTint    = Color(0xFF1C1B33)

    // Semantic
    val Income = Color(0xFF1FD17B)
    val Spend  = Color(0xFFFF5A6A)
    val Warn   = Color(0xFFFFB23F)
    val Crypto = Color(0xFFF7C948)
}

val RevolutBrandGradient = Brush.linearGradient(
    listOf(RevolutColors.GradStart, RevolutColors.GradEnd)
)

Wire it into a Material 3 darkColorScheme. Revolut is dark-first; provide a light scheme only if you target system light mode (use BrandPressed solid, no gradient ghosting).

// ui/theme/Theme.kt
import androidx.compose.material3.darkColorScheme
import androidx.compose.material3.MaterialTheme

private val RevolutScheme = darkColorScheme(
    primary          = RevolutColors.Brand,
    onPrimary        = Color.White,
    primaryContainer = RevolutColors.BrandTint,
    background        = RevolutColors.Canvas,
    onBackground      = RevolutColors.TextPrimary,
    surface           = RevolutColors.Surface1,
    onSurface         = RevolutColors.TextPrimary,
    surfaceVariant    = RevolutColors.Surface2,
    outline           = RevolutColors.Border,
    outlineVariant    = RevolutColors.Divider,
    error             = RevolutColors.Spend,
)

@Composable
fun RevolutTheme(content: @Composable () -> Unit) =
    MaterialTheme(colorScheme = RevolutScheme, typography = RevolutTypography, content = content)

2. Typography

Aeonik is proprietary. Drop the TTFs in res/font/ (lowercase, snake_case) and build a FontFamily. Fall back to the system font (Roboto); Inter is the closest substitute if bundled.

// ui/theme/RevolutType.kt
import androidx.compose.material3.Typography
import androidx.compose.ui.text.TextStyle
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.Font
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontFamily
import androidx.compose.ui.text.font.FontWeight
import androidx.compose.ui.unit.sp

val Aeonik = FontFamily(
    Font(R.font.aeonik_regular, FontWeight.Normal),   // 400
    Font(R.font.aeonik_medium,  FontWeight.Medium),   // 500/600
    Font(R.font.aeonik_bold,    FontWeight.Bold),     // 700
)

private const val TNUM = "tnum"

// Named ramp — mirrors DESIGN.md §3 exactly (pt → sp 1:1)
object RevolutText {
    val Balance     = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 40.sp, lineHeight = 42.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.6).sp, fontFeatureSettings = TNUM)
    val TitleLarge  = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 28.sp, lineHeight = 32.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.4).sp)
    val Section     = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 22.sp, lineHeight = 26.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.3).sp)
    val TileBalance = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 22.sp, lineHeight = 24.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.2).sp, fontFeatureSettings = TNUM)
    val Subsection  = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium,   fontSize = 18.sp, lineHeight = 23.sp, letterSpacing = (-0.1).sp)
    val Amount      = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium,   fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 19.sp, fontFeatureSettings = TNUM)
    val Merchant    = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium,   fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 21.sp)
    val Body        = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 15.sp, lineHeight = 22.sp)
    val Button      = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium,   fontSize = 16.sp, lineHeight = 20.sp)
    val Meta        = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 13.sp, lineHeight = 17.sp)
    val LabelUpper  = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Bold,     fontSize = 11.sp, lineHeight = 13.sp, letterSpacing = 0.6.sp)
    val Tab         = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Medium,   fontSize = 10.sp, lineHeight = 12.sp, letterSpacing = 0.2.sp)
    val Caption     = TextStyle(Aeonik, fontWeight = FontWeight.Normal,   fontSize = 11.sp, lineHeight = 14.sp)
}

// Map onto Material 3 slots so stock components inherit the brand
val RevolutTypography = Typography(
    headlineLarge = RevolutText.TitleLarge,
    headlineSmall = RevolutText.Section,
    titleMedium   = RevolutText.Merchant,
    bodyMedium    = RevolutText.Body,
    labelSmall    = RevolutText.Tab,
)

Metal Card Hero (flip + sheen)

import androidx.compose.animation.core.animateFloatAsState
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.graphicsLayer

@Composable
fun MetalCardHero(modifier: Modifier = Modifier) {
    var flipped by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
    val rotation by animateFloatAsState(if (flipped) 180f else 0f, tween(450), label = "flip")

            .aspectRatio(1.586f)
            .graphicsLayer { rotationY = rotation; cameraDistance = 12f * density }
            .clip(RoundedCornerShape(16.dp))
            .background(Brush.linearGradient(listOf(Color(0xFF2E2E33), Color(0xFF101014))))

            Text(if (flipped) "CVV 042" else "•••• 4821", style = RevolutText.Amount, color = Color.White)
        }
    }
}

4. Brand Gradient Helper

// Tint a glyph with the brand gradient (mask via blend) — or use RevolutColors.Brand
// for tiny icons / focus rings where a gradient is impractical.
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.BlendMode
import androidx.compose.ui.graphics.graphicsLayer
import androidx.compose.ui.draw.drawWithContent

fun Modifier.brandGradientTint() = this
    .graphicsLayer(alpha = 0.99f)
    .drawWithContent {
        drawContent()
        drawRect(RevolutBrandGradient, blendMode = BlendMode.SrcAtop)
    }

5. Bottom Navigation (Tab Bar)

Use Material 3 NavigationBar. Revolut’s iOS tab bar is .regularMaterial blur over a near-black; Android has no first-class live blur, so use a 92%-opaque canvas. Active tint is the brand color.

@Composable
fun RevolutBottomBar(selected: Int, onSelect: (Int) -> Unit) {
    NavigationBar(
        containerColor = RevolutColors.Canvas.copy(alpha = 0.92f),
        tonalElevation = 0.dp,
    ) {
        val items = listOf(
            "Home"      to Icons.Filled.Home,
            "Invest"    to Icons.Filled.TrendingUp,
            "Crypto"    to Icons.Filled.CurrencyBitcoin,
            "Lifestyle" to Icons.Filled.AutoAwesome,
            "Cards"     to Icons.Filled.CreditCard,
        )
        items.forEachIndexed { i, (label, icon) ->
            NavigationBarItem(
                selected = selected == i,
                onClick = { onSelect(i) },
                icon = { Icon(icon, contentDescription = label, modifier = Modifier.size(24.dp)) },
                label = { Text(label, style = RevolutText.Tab) },
                colors = NavigationBarItemDefaults.colors(
                    selectedIconColor   = RevolutColors.Brand,
                    selectedTextColor   = RevolutColors.TextPrimary,
                    unselectedIconColor = RevolutColors.TextTertiary,
                    unselectedTextColor = RevolutColors.TextTertiary,
                    indicatorColor      = RevolutColors.BrandTint,
                ),
            )
        }
    }
}

6. Motion

Haptics: prefer LocalHapticFeedback. For a richer card-flip “thunk” use LocalView.current.performHapticFeedback(HapticFeedbackConstants.LONG_PRESS) or a Vibrator VibrationEffect.createOneShot(14, …).

7. Icons

Closest first-party set is androidx.compose.material:material-icons-extended. For exact parity, export Revolut glyphs as vector drawables and load via ImageVector.vectorResource(...).

8. Minimum SDK & Accessibility Notes

• minSdk 24 (Compose floor is 21; gradient + 3D motion are comfortable at 24). compileSdk 34+, Compose BOM 2024.09+, Kotlin 2.0+.
• Edge-to-edge: call enableEdgeToEdge(); the near-black canvas wants light-content system bars (WindowCompat). Apply Scaffold insets so the tab bar clears gesture nav.
• Font scaling: sp honors the user’s scale — keep it on titles, body, amounts. Pin the hero balance, tab labels, uppercase labels, and currency-tile figures with a fixed Density wrapper for column alignment.
• TalkBack: announce balances with currency; merge transaction-row text with Modifier.semantics(mergeDescendants = true) and state direction (“Sent 9 pounds 99 to Spotify”); label the card hero (“Card, double tap to reveal details”).
• Touch targets: Material minimum is 48.dp. The 52.dp CTA and 56.dp quick-action circles are clear; give the 24.dp tab glyphs and small icons a 48.dp hit area via padding.
• Contrast: #9A9AAA on #0A0A0F passes WCAG AA at 14sp+; bump 11sp labels toward #B0B0C0 for strict compliance. White on the gradient passes against both stops.
• Reduced motion / transparency: honor Settings.Global.ANIMATOR_DURATION_SCALE == 0 by skipping the sheen and instant-drawing the donut/flip; if transparency is reduced, use a solid Canvas.copy(alpha = 0.98f) tab background.
• Dynamic color: do not enable Material You dynamicDarkColorScheme() — Revolut’s brand requires the fixed #0A0A0F canvas and the violet→purple gradient regardless of wallpaper.
