Dynamo Design System
Dynamo is a loud, poster-like agency site built from black, white and glossy 3D renders. It opens on a full-screen black hero with an iridescent glass ring and a centred white statement, then a white page slides up over it with a huge 300px rounded top edge. From there it is a clean white layout: very wide uppercase titles in Unbounded, short reading text in Inter Tight, and soft #F7F7F7 cards. All the colour comes from the 3D art (violet, magenta, cobalt, coral) and memoji avatars.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The overlap reveal. The hero is position: sticky and the first white section has border-radius: 300px 300px 0 0, so it rises over the black hero like a dome.
- Wide uppercase titles with a down arrow. The main sections open with a 62px Unbounded uppercase title (WHAT WE DO, WORK, WHAT THEY THINK) on the left and a thin ↓ arrow about 45px tall on the right.
- Outlined pill nav. Five uppercase nav links, each in its own 2px-outlined pill, sit top-right; they are white over the hero and turn black over white sections.
- Glossy 3D objects. Service icons and project panels use translucent violet and magenta 3D shapes (cubes, layered diamonds, pie slices) on #F7F7F7.

Motion
| Text roll on buttons | Label y 0 → −110% (500ms easeOut), copy y 100% → 0% (500ms easeIn) inside an overflow mask |
| Reveal on scroll | Elements rise y 100% → 0% over 500ms, or scale 0 → 1 over 500ms, and fade from opacity 0 |
| Heading wipe | A black .heading-overlay block starts at translateX(-100%) and sweeps across headings (size and move, 500ms) |
| Slide-ins | x ±30px → 0, 500ms |
| Card press | scale 1 → 0.95 on hover, 300ms outSine, back to 1 over 300–500ms (outQuint) |

Do’s and don’ts
- Set every title, nav item and button in Unbounded uppercase, and every paragraph in Inter Tight 17px sentence case at 75% black.
- Open sections with a display-section title on the left and a thin ↓ arrow on the right.
- Keep the UI black #000000, white #FFFFFF and #F7F7F7 only; let 3D renders bring the colour.
- Use 2px black outlines for nav pills, tags and footer tags.
- Start the page with a sticky black hero and a white section with a 300px rounded top that rises over it.
- Use 20px radii on cards and 40–50px pills for buttons.
- Use ink-subtle (#2C2C2C at 50%) for anything under 14px or for paragraphs; it is only about 3:1 on white. Keep it for the role after a name.
- Add a brand colour, coloured buttons, or the unused pastel variables.
- Use Oswald, or set Unbounded in sentence case.
- Add drop shadows; depth comes from the overlap and the renders.
- Use thin or grey outlines; outlines are always 2px in the text colour.
- Write long titles; Unbounded is very wide, so keep display titles to 1–3 words.

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/dynamo.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
