Bronx eC Design System
Bronx eC is a dark, product-launch style site for a tech or AI business with a shop attached. It feels like a keynote slide: a near-black page, a soft violet glow bleeding in from the top of the hero, short white headlines in Inter Tight 600, and glossy 3D objects floating on pastel gradients. The interface stays black and white; the colour comes from the glow and the renders.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The violet hero glow. The hero sits on a background image with a #6F00FF radial glow centred near the top, fading into the #111314 canvas by the bottom of the first screen.
- Fading gradient text. The last words of the hero title (your business.) are filled with a white-to-15%-white gradient running left to right, so the words dissolve into the background. The Bronx. logo fades the opposite way: its B dissolves on the left and the rest is white.
- Title over a hairline. Section titles (What we do) sit on a full-width 1px solid white rule, and the hero title has the same rule under it after 100px of space.
- Horizontal work strip. Services and projects scroll sideways as a row of square-ish 3D render cards, each with a 28px title on the left and a muted metric (-42% Avg CAC reduction) on the right.
Bronx eC is a dark-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep the page on canvas #111314 with white ink headlines in Inter Tight 600.
- Put the #6F00FF glow behind the hero only, as a soft radial light that fades into #111314.
- End a hero title with a white-to-#FFFFFF26 gradient phrase.
- Put a 1px solid white rule under section titles (top-grid) and under the hero title.
- Use the white pill (button-primary, 70px tall, 40px radius) for the one main action, with #111314 text.
- Pair every work image with a title-lg name and a numeric result in ink-subtle.
- Fill buttons, tags or text with violet. The only coloured surfaces are the glow and the renders.
- Add shadows, blur or rounded image corners; images are square-cornered.
- Use grey hex values for text. Muted text is white at 70%, 53% or 50%.
- Leave input text at the measured #333333 on the dark field; it is nearly invisible. Set typed text to ink.
- Use ink-faint (white at 50%) for anything other than 16px+ notes.
- Animate for longer than 600ms outside the 1000ms slow fade, or add bounce easing.

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/bronx.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

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

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