Lito Design System
Lito is a loud, cheerful agency template built from full-width colour blocks. A deep midnight-blue hero gives way to an aquamarine trust band, a long saturated-gold portfolio band, a light grey pricing band and a midnight-blue contact band, with white sections in between. Headlines are navy Inter 600, corners are almost square, and photographs sit flat on the colour with no radius and no shadow.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The rotating hero word. The hero H1 is Hayy! We're a / [word] / digital studio.; a three-slide slider swaps the middle word, each in its own colour: innovative in gold #FFC905, creative in aquamarine #4CBC9D, powerful in orange #FF4F11.
- Full-bleed colour bands. Sections run edge to edge with no radius: #1D217C, #4CBC9D, #FFC905, #F3F3F3. The gold work band is the longest section on the page.
- The side line-nav. A fixed stack of six 50px hairlines sits on the right edge at 40% of the viewport height; the current section's line is at full opacity, the rest at 30%. A vertical SCROLL label sits on the left edge of the hero.
- Captions with a dash. Project titles are followed by a 30px 1px navy line, then the categories and a thin arrow: Donec mollis —— Branding, Web Design →.

Do’s and don’ts
- Build pages as full-bleed colour bands (#1D217C, #4CBC9D, #FFC905, #F3F3F3, white) with 80px 5% padding and no radius.
- Set headlines and UI text in navy #1D217C, and body copy in #7E7E7E at 17px or larger.
- Use the rotating hero word, with a different brand colour for each slide.
- Keep buttons small and square: 3px radius, 50px tall, 16px weight 600.
- Put a 30px navy dash between a project title and its category.
- Leave photos square-cornered and flat on the colour.
- Use black text or pure black backgrounds; the dark colour is navy #1D217C.
- Round photos or bands, or add shadows.
- Put white text on gold #FFC905; use navy on gold.
- Set the grey #7E7E7E body colour below 17px or on the #F3F3F3 band for long text; it is under 4.5:1 there.
- Mix two accent colours in one band.
- Use pill buttons or a second typeface.

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/lito.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
