Strategx Design System
Strategx is a dark, quiet, technical agency site. A green-tinted near-black canvas (#131615) carries a faint square grid that fades out towards the edges, and every heading is set in a pale grey-green (#DCE2E2) Inter Tight at weight 600. Imagery is mostly monochrome: a bold geometric striped square, wireframe 3D figures, a phone on a grey set, a muted portrait of a smiling man on warm grey; a few work images add violet-blue and pink. It reads like a blueprint for a performance-marketing team.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The blueprint grid. Thin, very faint square grid lines cover the hero and the following sections, masked by #131615 → transparent gradients at the top, bottom and sides so the grid fades into the canvas.
- Square light button. The main call to action is a flat #DCE2E2 rectangle with no radius and dark text (Contact us). Everything else that is round is a pill tag.
- Two-tone leads. Lead sentences start in #DCE2E2 and finish at about 55%: We've built broad digital frameworks to streamline shopping experiences.
- The rotating MENU ring. Top right, MENU repeats around a circle with a thin + in it and turns as you scroll. Beside it sits Cart [0], divided by a 1px vertical rule.
Strategx is a dark-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Use canvas #131615 with ink #DCE2E2 headlines in Inter Tight 600 and ink-muted #DCE2E2 paragraphs at 500.
- Use the square #DCE2E2 button (0px radius, 56px tall, 18px 24px padding) for the main action, hovering to #424242 with white text.
- Finish leads two-tone, with the last words at 55% (#DCE2E28C).
- Outline cards with 1px #FFFFFF30 and keep them square; use #1A1D1C only for stat cards.
- Put the faint square grid behind the hero and feature sections, faded at the edges.
- Index service titles with two digits (01, 02, 03).
- Round the main button or the cards; only tags, badges and the form controls have radii.
- Add shadows, glows or glass.
- Use violet #6F00FF beyond the line-link hover underline.
- Leave typed form text at the measured #333333 on the dark canvas; it is unreadable.
- Use pure #FFFFFF for headlines; it is reserved for links, names and the word strip.
- Use Oswald outside blockquotes, or letter spacing outside the word strip and footer tags.

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/strategx.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

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

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.

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