Nane Design System
Nane is a calm, gallery-like architecture studio template. Everything sits on a single deep teal (#082A2A) with cool silver text, so the page reads like a printed monograph on dark stock. Headlines are an elegant high-contrast serif, Cormorant Garamond, set large and light; every functional label (nav, buttons, card names, footer links) is a small, tracked, uppercase sans, THICCCBOI. The only warm colour is a burnt-sienna hover.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Silver on deep teal. Canvas #082A2A, text #C3C8CC, and silver at 70% for links and secondary copy. There is no white body text and no light page.
- Serif display, uppercase sans labels. Architecture Multi-Layout Template at 93px Cormorant Garamond 500 with a 0.9 line height, above pills reading PURCHASE NANE and VIEW ALL TEMPLATE in 14px THICCCBOI 600, uppercase, 1px tracking.
- Silver pill buttons that warm up. Filled pills in #C3C8CC with teal text turn burnt sienna (#E76F51) with white text on hover. The outline variant is a 1px solid silver ring.
- Centred three-column nav. The NANE wordmark with the italic-feeling serif tag A architecture studio sits centred on top, the uppercase menu with small triangle carets below it, social icons on the left and MAKE AN APPOINTMENT on the right.
The home page is a presentation index: silver-framed screenshots of each layout (HOME 1, WORK 2, BLOG 3, ABOUT) in a three-column grid under serif section titles.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep the whole page on canvas #082A2A with ink #C3C8CC; use silver at 70% (#C3C8CCB3) for links and secondary text.
- Set headlines in Cormorant Garamond 500 with a 0.9–1.1 line height, and every label in uppercase THICCCBOI 600 with 1px tracking.
- Use silver pill buttons (100px radius, padding 17px 28px) that turn #E76F51 with white text on hover over 300ms.
- Keep images and cards square-cornered; mount screenshots on silver frames with about 10px of padding.
- Use 1px silver hairlines at 25–27% for tags and dividers.
- Use a line-through on hover for inline text links.
- Use pure white text or a light page background; the template has neither.
- Use #E76F51 as a resting fill or a text colour. It is a hover and quote-rule colour only. White on it is about 3:1, so keep button labels at 14px weight 600 uppercase and don't put smaller text on it.
- Set headlines in the sans or labels in the serif, or uppercase the serif.
- Add shadows, gradients or blur.
- Copy the blue #2E5CFF Browse our templates band; it is a vendor promo.
- Round images or cards.
- Put 70% silver (ink-muted, ink-subtle) on surface-1 #144141; it drops to about 4.2:1. Use full ink #C3C8CC on that teal.

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/nane.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.”

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