Marketind Design System
Marketind is a dark, high-contrast agency site. Pure black runs behind everything, crossed by faint full-height vertical column lines like a ruled sheet. Type is white Inter Tight semibold; the colour comes only from glossy pastel 3D renders (a blue glass sphere, pink and violet knots, a prism cube). The interface itself is black and white with one grey.
Signatures that make it recognisable:
- Two-tone statements. Long lines start in white and finish in #999999 mid-sentence: Our integrated digital frameworks are meticulously (white) designed to streamline sales funnels. (grey); We've crunched the numbers and have some / impressive figures you'll want to consider.
- The MENU ring. No nav links on the bar. Top-right is a thin + inside a ring of the word MENU repeated four times, which turns as you scroll. It opens a full-screen #111111 overlay with 90px menu words.
- Outlined, cropped figures. Stats (7,000+, 10, 5.5M) are 120px numbers drawn as white outlines with transparent fill, and their bottom edge is cut off by a black label strip carrying Active monthly users.
- Column-line backdrop. A 23-column grid of hairlines, faded out by black edge gradients, sits behind the whole page.
Marketind is a dark-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep the page pure #000000 with the faint column-line backdrop.
- Write statements as one long sentence, white #FFFFFF first and #999999 for the rest.
- Use one white button per screen (#FFFFFF, black text, 5px radius, 48px tall).
- Draw big figures as white outlines and crop them with a black label strip.
- Round images 18px and outline tags with 2px white at a 30px radius.
- Let the 3D renders carry all colour.
- Add coloured UI, accents or gradients on buttons and text.
- Add shadows or blurs.
- Use #999999 for a whole paragraph, or below 16px.
- Put a horizontal link bar in the nav; navigation lives in the MENU ring overlay.
- Use the backwards --black variable names in new code.
- Make more than tags and footer pills uppercase.

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/marketind.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

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
