flowmanceSavory Design System
Savory is a calm, upscale restaurant site. The whole page is one deep slate navy, and the type is a soft, muted gold: a big rounded Hauora headline, then Inter Tight for everything else. Photography of plated food, chefs and dining rooms sits inside tall pill-shaped frames, so the page feels like a set of arched windows.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Pill frames. Every portrait photo is cropped by a 250px radius into a tall capsule. The hero has one capsule centred behind the headline; the next section staggers three capsules side by side, the middle one dropped lower.
- Gold on navy. #BAAF8C gold for headings and buttons, #ECE4CA cream for menu links and form text, white for body copy, all on #292F3B. Nothing else.
- The giant tagline. Dine with us, and let Savory turn moments into timeless memories. scrolls sideways at 120px uppercase, its edges fading into the navy.
- Faded sentence tails. Leads and quotes start in white and finish at 40% opacity: come to meet us and enjoy a / great food experience.
Savory is dark only.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep every section on canvas #292F3B; there are no light bands.
- Set headings in gold #BAAF8C and running text in white.
- Crop portrait photos into capsules with a 250px radius.
- Use the gold pill (primary, 40px radius, 74px tall) for reservations and bookings.
- Finish leads and quotes with a 40% white tail.
- Separate list rows with 1px #5C5950 rules.
- Put small text on the gold button; white on #BAAF8C is low contrast (and lower still on the #ECE4CA hover), so keep button labels at 18px or larger, weight 500+.
- Use ink-subtle (white at 40%) below 19px or for whole paragraphs; keep it for the faded end of 19–26px lines.
- Add shadows, cards or a lighter surface.
- Use Hauora for anything but the hero headline.
- Use square-cornered portrait photos.
- Add a bright accent colour; gold and cream are the only warm tones.

DESIGN.mdin your project and mention it in your request, or save it as.cursor/rules/savory.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

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