Jöb Design System
Jöb is a cheerful job-board landing page. The top is white and simple: a big black headline with one violet word, a search bar and category chips. Below it, the page swings into slanted electric-violet bands (#3B00DB) filled with round, smiling portraits on pastel circles. The middle is a practical listing layout: soft grey job cards with company logos, tinted tags and grey salary and location meta, next to a filter sidebar.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The violet word with sparks. One word in the hero title is violet (Get your dream job with Jöb.) and has three small hand-drawn spark strokes at its top-right corner.
- Portrait confetti on a slanted band. A tilted violet wave band holds round portraits (about 140–180px) on pastel circles (rose, lilac, red, sand, mint), each with a matching name pill (Emily, Ethan, Oliver, Noah) overlapping its lower-left edge.
- Tinted job tags. Job cards carry tiny 13px tags: Featured in magenta #AD005A on #FAF3FA, and Full Time, Part Time or Remote in violet on #F0ECFC.
- Blue-tinted shadows. Floating white elements (search bar, testimonial card, subscribe form) use soft shadows tinted with blue #153CF5, not grey.
Jöb is light-only, with violet bands.

Do’s and don’ts
- Use primary #3B00DB for buttons, links and full-width bands, hovering to #5F24FF.
- Colour one word of the hero title violet and add small spark strokes to it.
- Use #F7F8FC job cards with a 3px-radius tag set: magenta Featured on #FAF3FA, violet types on #F0ECFC.
- Separate job meta with a light / and keep it at 14px / 500 grey.
- Tint shadows blue (#153CF5 at 5–6%) and keep them soft and wide (14–25px blur).
- Put portraits on pastel circles with a matching name pill.
- Add a second strong colour; magenta stays inside the Featured tag and pastels stay behind portraits.
- Use #838383 (ink-muted) below 14px or for long paragraphs; keep it to short 14–16px meta and card text.
- Use #B6B6B6 (ink-faint) for anything except separators and secondary role names.
- Round tags or inputs beyond 3px, or buttons beyond 5px.
- Use Newsreader, a serif, or uppercase labels.
- Use grey or black drop shadows.

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/job.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
