flowmanceBixol Design System
Bixol is a warm, calm architecture studio site. Wide, geometric Mattone headlines in black sit on white and on a soft linen beige, with Inter for every paragraph. Two muted colours, a slate grey-violet and a terracotta, appear only on buttons, numbers and bands. Photography is large and unrounded: an arched doorway to the sea in the hero, and a full-bleed, gapless grid of buildings and interiors.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Wide display type. Headlines use Mattone, a very wide geometric face, at 46–60px, black, normal tracking: Bixol, a creative architecture studio., Our Specialization.
- Slate and terracotta square buttons. Small 2px-radius buttons, set in Mattone 13px: slate #474454 (Purchase Bixol, Request a Quote) and terracotta #C0786A (View on Webflow, View All Project). Both turn pale #E0DACA with black text on hover.
- Linen bands. The hero, the Latest Projects header and the testimonials sit on #E4DFD5. Slate #474454 bands carry the contact strip and the closing CTA.
- Edge-to-edge project grid. Six project photos in a 3-column grid with no gaps and no margins, running to both edges of the viewport.
Bixol is a light-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Set headlines in Mattone (46px sections, 58px hero) and every paragraph in Inter.
- Alternate white canvas, linen surface-1 #E4DFD5 and slate inverse-canvas #474454 bands.
- Use the slate button-primary for the main action and one terracotta button-accent beside it; both hover to #E0DACA with black text.
- Keep photos square-cornered and let the project grid run edge to edge with no gaps.
- Use terracotta #C0786A for stat numbers and hover accents.
- Keep body text #414147 and roles #666666.
- Add the unused orange #FFB805 or any other colour.
- Put white text on terracotta below 13px or in thin weights; white on #C0786A is only about 3.3:1. Keep accent-button labels in Mattone 13px+.
- Put #6E6E6E ink-subtle on linen except for 16px 600 eyebrows.
- Shrink the #696969 testimonial quote on linen: it is about 4.1:1 there, so keep it at 40px.
- Round buttons beyond 2px or add pills and shadows.
- Use Mattone for paragraphs or Inter for section titles.
- Animate longer than 1000ms outside the stat counters.

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/bixol.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.

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