Namur Design System
Namur is a calm, airy agency site for startups and tech firms. Almost everything is white, black and grey in one family, Inter Tight at weight 600, and a single electric purple (#8E03F1) is reserved for the pill buttons. The page feels like a sheet of graph paper: faint vertical hairlines run behind every section, fading in and out, while content sits in wide, quiet columns.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Two-tone statements. Headlines and leads switch from black to a 50% grey mid-sentence: Build a strategy that aligns with the needs of your customers.
- Background hairlines. A fixed layer of thin vertical lines (white → #B3B3B3 → white gradients) sits behind the whole page, so every section seems ruled.
- Gradient-disc portrait. The hero shows a cut-out portrait whose head breaks out of a circle filled with a purple-magenta-orange gradient.
- Outlined logo tabs. Client logos sit in 80px-tall outlined pills (2px #5E5E5E, 50px radius) that act as tabs for the testimonials; inactive tabs fade to 37%.
Namur is a light-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Use Inter Tight 600 for nearly everything, and 700 only for nav links and testimonial quotes.
- Split headings into a black clause and a 50% grey clause (ink-subtle).
- Keep #8E03F1 for the pill buttons only, with white 18px / 600 labels.
- Run faint vertical hairlines behind the page and leave large white space around content.
- Keep images, cards and icon tiles square-cornered; round only buttons, tabs and the hero disc.
- Set paragraphs in #222 at 66% opacity, 18px, line height 1.3.
- Use ink-subtle (black at 50%, 4.0:1 on white) for body text or anything under 22px; it is for statement tails only.
- Add a second accent colour; the extra Webflow variables (red, green, orange) are unused.
- Add drop shadows or rounded card corners.
- Make section titles huge; the only big numbers are the 80px metrics.
- Change the purple on hover; the button's hover is the arrow reveal.
- Use uppercase or letter spacing.
- Use the #8F8F8F nav hover grey (3.2:1 on white) for anything but the 17px / 700 nav links.

Pick a file to see what it’s for and where it goes.
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/namur.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
