Bork Design System
Bork is a playful, warm creative-agency site. It feels like a design studio's sketchbook: a soft lavender (#DDCDED) page, big bold black Cabinet Grotesk headlines, and electric magenta (#E34AFF) used both for pill buttons and for hand-drawn doodles that circle and underline words. Photography is bright product still life on solid colour (a mango on orange, a gold coin on red, a cereal box on yellow), which keeps the page cheerful.
The published preview opens on a presentation page (Meet Bork, What is included in Bork template, Template Overview, thumbnails of every page). The template's own home is at /pages/home. This file describes the template's design as both show it.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Magenta doodles. Key words in headlines get a hand-drawn magenta mark: an oval around ui/ux, a squiggle under team and your, and a small smiling sun with rays in the corner of most template heroes.
- Lavender everywhere. The page, the hero bands and the full-screen menu are all thistle #DDCDED, with a slightly deeper #D3B8EE band and white #FFFFFF sections for contrast.
- Bold black type, bold body. Cabinet Grotesk 700 for headlines and for paragraphs too (p is 17px weight 700), so even small copy reads heavy and confident.
- Magenta pill + underlined link. View on Designer as a #E34AFF pill with white text, next to Buy Bork Today as a black underlined link.

Do’s and don’ts
- Use the #DDCDED lavender canvas with #D3B8EE and white #FFFFFF bands at 80px padding.
- Set headlines and paragraphs in Cabinet Grotesk 700, black, sentence case.
- Mark one or two words per headline with a hand-drawn #E34AFF oval or squiggle, and add the sun doodle to heroes.
- Use the #E34AFF pill (30px radius, 54px tall) for the main action and a black underlined link beside it.
- Keep cards white with a 10px radius, a 1px #E9E0F1 border and the faint 5% shadow.
- Use bright single-colour-background product photos with square corners.
- Shrink button labels below 17px weight 700; white on #E34AFF is only about 3.1:1.
- Set text in magenta on lavender; use magenta for fills, doodles and hover lines only.
- Add a second accent colour or use the unused yellow, orange-red or blue variables.
- Use uppercase, letter spacing or light weights.
- Use heavy shadows; the strongest is 15% and only under floating screenshots.
- Doodle more than two words in a headline.

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/bork.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
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:

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
