Frames X Root: Ultimate Figma Wireframe UI Kit

Figma is famous for its advanced features, such as variables, components, and auto layout - the holy trinity of modern design tools. These features enable designers to craft detailed design systems that mirror real-world programming concepts.

While these features are super helpful for complex design system projects, they can sometimes overshadow the pure creativity and ideation that wireframes actually need.

Design smarter wireframes with Figma variables

Frames X Root represents the next step in the evolution of our popular Root UI Kit, now enhanced with the power of Figma variables. Leveraging our extensive expertise in creating reusable UI kits and design systems, we’re proud to introduce this innovative update, fully integrated with Figma variables, to elevate your design workflow.

Root's playful style infuses your work with a cartoonish, chunky vibe. This funky style encourages the free flow of ideas, helping you take concepts on the screen less seriously.

But don't let the fun fool you, Frames X Root UI Kit is built for scalability. When you're ready to move into more complex territory, you can seamlessly transition from wireframes to a full-fledged design system.

This transformation is possible due to our world-famous Figma variable structure and our expertise in crafting reusable UI kits. You can find more information about how we use Figma variables from our Intro to Figma Variables Guide.

From low-fidelity wireframes to high-fidelity designs

Using Figma variables, you can switch the main font Rubik to low-fidelity alternatives such as Flow (Font B) or Redacted (Font C), instantly adding that pure wireframe aesthetic to your work.

This simple font swap is more than just a visual change—it's a powerful tool in your design process. When needed, you can shift from low-fidelity wireframes that emphasize structure and layout to more refined, detailed designs.

Use this Figma trick to brainstorm initial concepts or lay the groundwork for future design systems. For example, if the text copy of your project is not ready yet or you haven't done it, you can always switch to wireframe mode and stay focused on what is more important at the moment.

To switch, you only need to change the Typography variables available in the UI kit. e.g., switch Font A to Font B. You can also add your fonts or replace existing ones from the Figma variables menu. Additionally, we've found more free fonts you can use with our wireframes UI Kit:

• Blokk font

• Redacted Script

• Flow Circular

• Balsamiq Sans

• Architects Daughter

• Handlee

• Komika Hands

• Caveat font

• Neucha font

Featured fonts are great for creating wireframes, as they provide a hand-drawn or sketchy look that perfectly matches Root UI kit aesthetics.

All mentioned fonts are free for personal use, but be sure to check the specific license terms before using them in commercial projects.

Frames X Root: Figma Variables for Color Theming

Frames X Root offers you full flexibility not only with typography but also with colors. Our wireframes implement a dual-layer color system: Color Modes and Themes.

Color Modes are responsible for the standard light and dark colors, allowing you to test your ideas in both light and dark mode designs.

Themes, on the other hand, are tailored for brand-specific customization. With Themes, you can swap out the primary orange color with any color you want for your brand and both light and dark modes will follow.

With Frames X Root UI kit, you only need to manage 10 key colors, making visual experiments super easy and fun. You can restyle the entire project in seconds and test multiple color palettes.

With this structure, you can add more color palettes as your Theme modes and test as many different styles as your Figma plans allow.

Wireframe Components for Rapid Prototyping

Frames X Root UI kit includes 80+ component types and more than 500+ component variants. These practical Figma components provide an extensive UI toolkit for efficient wireframe process.

Our most common UI components feature built-in animations for standard interactions such as click, press, and hover states. These pre-made interactions will help you create prototypes and animate static wireframes.

You can find and test all animated components on the Interactive Playground page by clicking the Play (▷) icon.

Frames X Root components are simple yet highly customizable. You can use Figma component properties to adjust the size, state, and other UI details, creating higher fidelity wireframes.

Bonus: Additionally, our wireframes UI kit includes tags to help you find components faster in Figma. Simply type the first letter of the Tag, and Figma will highlight the rest.

Root UI Kit Theme Visualizer

Frames X Root UI Kit features a powerful Theme Visualizer—a dedicated page that dynamically displays component appearances based on your Figma variables configuration.

This tool allows real-time previews of style changes across all components, enabling precise customization for your wireframe designs.

Root UI kit Wireframe Illustrations

Due to wireframes' minimalistic style and sometimes unrealistic content, designed wireframes can sometimes leave viewers confused about what they're looking at, especially if they're not familiar with the technical aspects of design.

Our UI kit offers a solution to this problem. It includes 24 unique illustrations and over 100+ graphics elements to enrich your wireframes. These visual elements add extra flavor and depth to your designs, making the whole project or idea easier to understand.

Each illustration depicts a popular website or application concept or topic, giving the design more meaning. All root illustrations are compatible with Figma variables and feature resizable SVG shapes, ensuring they fit easily into your projects.

Website Wireframe Examples

In addition to its powerful wireframing tools, Frames X Root provides a set of wireframe templates. These boilerplates are an ideal foundation to kickstart your project, offering inspiration and saving time on your wireframing journey.

These pre-built wireframe examples are 100% resizable and fully support Figma Variables, allowing you to transform and use them as a playground or constructor for your ideas.

Every template is built from unique and reusable blocks. Each block can be customized further, dragged around, and combined to create unique layouts and wireframes.

Conclusion: The Benefits of Using a Wireframe UI Kit

The importance of wireframes in interfaces should be considered. Can you imagine building your own house without a preliminary plan and design project? That may be an unwise decision.

The same goes for your digital product or brand. If you want your work to look like you envisioned it, a design process with wireframes will be extremely helpful. Meanwhile, skipping this phase might be the reason why people don’t even start using your product.

That's the wrap!

Frames X Root is built to encourage creativity in early-stage ideation with its intentionally rough style. Unlike more opinionated UI kits, Frames X Root's intentionally chunky, playful style helps prevent attachment to specific designs while you're still in the initial stages of development.

Our wireframe UI kit includes everything from UI elements and icons to full-made wireframe examples—all following one unique, vibrant style. Preview and download the full version below to level up your design process.
