Folie Design System
Folie is a bright, cheerful startup and business template built on one electric slate blue (#4253FF) and white. The nav is a white bar with a soft shadow; the hero is a full-bleed blue field with large, pale low-poly facets catching light; content below is white with light grey Roboto text. It reads as an upbeat SaaS or agency kit rather than an editorial site.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Uppercase outlined buttons with a sliding arrow. Poppins 13px, weight 500, 1px tracking, in a 2px border with a 10px radius. On hover the button fills blue and a long right arrow slides in beside the label.
- Blue and green together. Blue carries the brand and links; one green (#03BF6D) button marks the purchase or main conversion action, right next to a white-outlined button on the hero.
- Blue corner triangles. Preview cards carry a 70px blue right triangle in the bottom-right corner with a white number (1, 2, 3…).
- Poppins over light Roboto. Headlines are Poppins 400 (never bold); paragraphs are Roboto 300 at 17px in light grey #919197, which makes the page feel airy.
The live preview is the template's index page (a gallery of its 15 homepage layouts); every layout uses the same blue, white, buttons and type.

Do’s and don’ts
- Use #4253FF for the hero field, links, feature titles and buttons, with white text on it.
- Use one green #03BF6D button per screen for the main conversion, beside a blue or white-outlined one.
- Set buttons in uppercase Poppins 13px weight 500 with 1px tracking, a 2px border and a 10px radius, and slide the arrow in on hover.
- Pair Poppins 400 headlines with Roboto 300 paragraphs.
- Use the one shadow recipe 0 12px 10px -7px #0000001A for cards and inputs.
- Keep cards and images square-cornered.
- Use green for text or small elements; white on #03BF6D is about 2.4:1, so keep the green button label at 13px weight 500 uppercase with 1px tracking and never smaller.
- Set ink-muted #919197 below 17px on white; it is about 3.1:1. Use #121217 for anything small that must be read.
- Bold the headlines or use weights above 500 for headings.
- Tint the shadows blue or make them larger than the recipe.
- Round cards or images.
- Use the low-poly facets anywhere but the full blue hero.
- Put nav links in full black; they rest at 50% and turn blue.
- Keep the #919197 footer links on #F1F1F7 at 17px or larger; they are about 2.8:1 there. Darken them to #515157 if the footer must carry small text.

DESIGN.mdin your project and mention it in your request, or save it as.cursor/rules/folie.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

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