flowmanceBuskit Design System
Buskit is a light, approachable consulting site. It feels optimistic and uncluttered: a soft sage-grey hero that fades into white, big near-black Archivo headlines set tight (line height 1), a cut-out portrait of a smiling consultant, and small electric-blue touches on the secondary links, eyebrows and numbers. Surfaces are white or a very pale sky blue; there are no shadows.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Blue underline links. Secondary actions are blue #1F2ED8 text with a → and a 2px underline drawn as an inset shadow at 28% blue (Call us today →, Talk to Sales →, Mee the Team → (sic)). On hover the underline turns solid blue.
- Tight display headlines. Headlines are Archivo 500 at 88px and 64px with line height 1.0, in 3–4 short lines (Let's start / something / big together.).
- Sky-blue tiles and bands. Service icons sit in about 110px tiles of #BDE9FF at 40% with 15px corners; the logo band and the testimonial text panel are #BDE9FF at 20%.
- Blue-dot eyebrows and blue numbers. Sections open with a small blue dot plus a blue label (About Buskit, Fund Facts); metrics are 80px blue numbers (4k, $10m, 100%).

Do’s and don’ts
- Use Archivo 500 with line height 1.0 for display headlines (88px / 64px) in #181818.
- Keep the black #181818 pill (30px radius, 17px 30px padding) as the one filled button.
- Make secondary actions blue #1F2ED8 underline links with a 28% blue inset underline that turns solid on hover.
- Put icons in #BDE9FF-40% tiles with 15px corners, and use #BDE9FF-20% for full-width bands.
- Open sections with a blue dot and a blue 18px eyebrow.
- Start the page with the sage #EAEDE6 hero fading to white.
- Fill buttons with blue or add a second accent colour.
- Add drop shadows or borders to cards; Buskit uses tints and white space.
- Set body copy in black; paragraphs are #666666 at 17px weight 500.
- Use #8F8F8F for anything but hover feedback, and only on 16px+ semibold links.
- Use negative tracking on headlines; tightness comes from line height 1.0.
- Round photos; only tiles, buttons and arrows are rounded.

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/buskit.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
