Bjørn Design System
Bjørn is a bold, playful creative-studio site on a flat cool-grey page. Huge black Satoshi words sit next to the same words drawn only as a thin white outline, and saturated studio photography (cobalt, violet, burnt orange, candy pink) supplies all the colour. The interface itself is black, white and one silver grey.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Solid word, outlined word. Display lines alternate a solid black word with a hollow one: Creative black, Digital outlined, Agency black; We black, Are outlined; Testimonials fully outlined. The outline is the silver page colour with a 1px white edge.
- The silver page. The whole site sits on #B7BABE, never white. White is reserved for buttons, cards and the tilted ribbon.
- A hero line wider than the screen. Creative Digital Agency is set at 12vw with white-space: nowrap, so it runs off both edges and slides sideways.
- White pills and round badges. Buttons are 30px-radius pills; the hero has a white scroll-mouse circle and the about section a white PLAY VIDEO badge with circular, rotating text.
Bjørn is a light-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Put every page on canvas #B7BABE and keep all text solid #000000.
- Set headlines in Satoshi 700 at 1.0–1.1 line height, centred.
- Pair a solid black display word with an outlined one (silver fill, 1px white edge).
- Use white pills (30px radius, padding 10px 18px) for actions, turning #1E1E1E with white text on hover in 200ms.
- Use white square cards with 3px gaps for grouped content.
- Use saturated studio product shots on seamless coloured backdrops.
- Use a white page background or grey text.
- Outline small text: outlines only work at 62px and up.
- Add an accent colour; the colour comes from photos.
- Round photos or cards. Only buttons, badges and avatars are round.
- Add shadows beyond the single ribbon shadow (#0000001A).
- Use light weights for headlines or letter spacing beyond +1px.

Pick a file to see what it’s for and where it goes.
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/bjorn.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
sourceat it to generate tokens for any platform - In code, import it like any JSON file
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
Tailwind v4 projects, and AI builders that write Tailwind (v0, Lovable, Bolt).
How to use it
- Save
theme.cssnext to your main CSS file - Import it after Tailwind:
@import "tailwindcss"; @import "./theme.css"; - Use the classes:
bg-canvas text-ink rounded-md p-lg
What it is
The same tokens as plain CSS variables on :root. Component values point at the color variables, so changing one color updates everything that uses it.
Best for
Any website: plain CSS, Webflow custom code, Framer, WordPress.
How to use it
- Add it to your stylesheet, or in Webflow paste it into Site settings → Custom code inside a
<style>tag - Use the variables anywhere:
color: var(--color-ink) - Change a token once and every place that uses it follows
