flowmanceNoter X Design System
Noter X is a calm, old-world notary office on the web. It reads like letterhead: a warm cream page, chocolate-brown serif headlines in Mulataddis, and small semibold grotesk labels in plum. Photography is soft, natural-light office and family scenes in rounded frames. The only strong colour is a deep plum used for the main button, eyebrows and the services and footer band.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Serif headlines in brown, UI in plum grotesk. Headlines are Mulataddis 400 in #4A2A1B (cream on the plum-grey band). Nav links, eyebrows and buttons are BDO Grotesk 600. Eyebrows and metric labels are plum #4A2177 (About Us, How it works, Years of experience).
- One italic word. A section headline ends on an italic line: Notarize Your Documents Online. / *Anytime.* The CTA title uses the same move.
- Two-tier header. A top info bar (phone, address, opening hours with thin plum line icons) sits over a hairline, and the logo, centred links and Cart [0] sit below it. The whole 142px block is fixed on cream.
- The short-underline link. Learn more and the phone number next to the button carry a short (about 16px) underline bar under the first letters, not a full underline.
Noter X is light-only, with one plum-grey band (inverse-canvas) for services and the footer.

Do’s and don’ts
- Set every headline in Mulataddis 400, brown #4A2A1B, Title Case, with one italic closing line where it helps.
- Use BDO Grotesk 600 in plum #4A2177 for eyebrows and metric labels, 17–19px.
- Keep the page cream #FCF8F6 and use #4B4057 only for the services band and footer.
- Use the gradient pill (#4B4057 → #4A2177, 40px radius, 52px tall) for the one main action, paired with a short-underline text link.
- Round content photos at 18–20px and keep the hero photo square with its cream fade.
- Show the contact top bar (phone, address, hours) on every page.
- Use pure black or grey for text. Body and headlines are #4A2A1B.
- Bold the serif. Only the 400 file loads; use size and italic for emphasis.
- Add shadows to cards or buttons; the template is flat.
- Add letter spacing or uppercase labels.
- Use the unused --alice-blue #DAE6FF or Inter Tight.
- Animate entries faster than 500ms or with bounce; reveals are slow outQuart fades.

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.”

<style>tag - Use the variables anywhere:
