What font does BBC use? BBC Reith Serif.

BBC's website sets its type in BBC Reith Serif, on a light #FFFFFF canvas with #202224 text and a #EB0000 accent. Copy the palette and fonts, or a ready prompt to build something original in this style with Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable or v0.

      BBC fonts and type scale

      BBC's website sets both headings and body text in BBC Reith Serif. Body text is 14px, section headings 24px and the largest display type 28px, at weight 500. If you can't use BBC Reith Serif, ask your AI for the closest free match and keep the sizes and weights.

      How do I build a site that looks like BBC with AI?

      Open the Prompt tab above, change its first line to what you are building, and paste it into Lovable, v0, Bolt, Claude Code or Cursor. For a whole project, install the Claude skill or the Cursor rule instead, so every screen keeps the style. Build something original: keep BBC's look, not its name, logo or copy.
