flowmanceArtist Design System
Artist is a light, friendly portfolio template with a fresh teal-green gradient. Heroes and small labels are filled with a diagonal blend from steel blue #0086AA to sea green #67AE8C; the rest is white or a barely blue #F8FBFD. Type is Dosis, a rounded, narrow sans, which keeps big headlines soft rather than corporate. The home page is a showcase of the template's layouts: gradient label pills over framed screenshots in a two-column grid.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The side rail. A fixed 90px white column on the left holds the handwritten a. logo at the top, a two-line hamburger in the middle and three black social circles at the bottom. There is no top nav.
- The teal-to-green gradient. linear-gradient(39deg, #0086AA, #67AE8C) fills the hero, every LAYOUT I-style label pill, and (with #349A9B at 65%) the round back-to-top button.
- Ghost words behind titles. A section title like Inner Pages sits over a huge pale uppercase word (CREATE) at 100px with 11px tracking in #F1F1F7 at 80%.
- Wide-tracked micro caps. Labels are 11–12px bold uppercase with 2–3px letter spacing: UNIQUE NAVIGATION, LAYOUT II, CLONE IT.
Artist is a light design with gradient heroes and a dark #313137 footer.

Do’s and don’ts
- Use the fixed 90px white side rail (logo, hamburger, social circles) instead of a top nav.
- Fill heroes and label pills with linear-gradient(39deg, #0086AA, #67AE8C).
- Set everything in Dosis: 600 for headlines, 500 for paragraphs, 700 uppercase with 1–3px tracking for labels.
- Use outline pills for actions (30px radius, 2px border, 58px tall); keep the button text 13px bold uppercase, since #67AE8C on white is only about 2.6:1.
- Put a pale display-ghost word behind each section title.
- Keep images square-cornered.
- Add filled buttons or shadows.
- Use ink-subtle #AFAFBB for anything but 12px+ bold uppercase stat labels.
- Use ink-faint for readable text; it is decoration only.
- Introduce a second typeface or use Dosis below weight 500 for body copy.
- Round images or preview frames.
- Use the unused --blue #4830E6 as an accent.
- Put long or non-bold text on the gradient. White on #0086AA is about 4.2:1 and drops toward the #67AE8C end, so keep label pills to 11px+ bold caps.

What it is
The whole design system in one markdown file, written for AI: every color, type style, spacing value, component and motion rule, plus do's, don'ts and a ready prompt.
Best for
Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor and v0, or any other AI tool that builds pages or code.
How to use it
- Put
DESIGN.mdin your project and mention it in your request, or save it as.cursor/rules/artist.mdc - For the rule file, start it with a front-matter block that sets
alwaysApply: true, so every chat uses it - Ask: “Build a pricing page using DESIGN.md.” Cursor follows the colors, fonts, spacing and rules
- Put
DESIGN.mdin the project root - Add one line to
CLAUDE.md: “Follow DESIGN.md for all UI.” - Ask for any page or component; Claude reads the file first
- Attach
DESIGN.mdto the chat (or paste it in) - Ask: “Build a landing page in this design system.”
- Keep the file in the chat or project knowledge, so follow-up pages stay on style
What it is
Every token as data, in the W3C Design Tokens format: colors with their roles, type styles, radius, spacing, and component tokens that point at them.
Best for
Figma (Tokens Studio), Style Dictionary and other design-token tools, and build scripts.
How to use it
- In Figma, open Tokens Studio, choose Import, and pick
tokens.json - Or point Style Dictionary’s

What it is
A Tailwind CSS v4 theme: every color, font, type style, radius and spacing value becomes a Tailwind utility, like bg-canvas, text-headline-lg or rounded-md.
Best for

- Add it to your stylesheet, or in Webflow paste it into Site settings → Custom code inside a
<style>tag - Use the variables anywhere:
