Unpack Design System
Unpack is a confident startup and agency kit. The hero is a full-bleed diagonal gradient from muted royal blue (#546CC3) to dusty rose (#C35466), carrying a huge uppercase Poppins Bold wordmark. Below it the page is white and quiet: semibold Poppins headings, grey Lora serif paragraphs and small, square uppercase buttons. A cool grey band holds the gallery of layouts.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- The two-voice heading. Headings mix Poppins semibold with one or two words in Lora italic: 200+ *Components*, Homepage *Layouts*, Ultimate *Startup* Pack, Home Agency *Style 1*. The italic word is regular weight and the same size.
- The blue-to-rose gradient. linear-gradient(45deg, #546CC3, #C35466) on the hero and on hero blocks across the layouts.
- Small square uppercase buttons. 11px Poppins with 1px tracking, square corners and generous padding (18px 35px 16px, 54px tall). On hover they lift 5px and gain a soft shadow.
- Uppercase display type. The hero wordmark is 100px Poppins 700 uppercase with 2px tracking; layout titles are uppercase Poppins 500 with 2px tracking (MEET UNPACK, YOUR DESIGN TOOLKIT.).
The live preview is the template's index page; its layouts share the same gradient, type pairing and buttons.

Do’s and don’ts
- Put one Lora italic word in each Poppins heading, at the same size.
- Use linear-gradient(45deg, #546CC3, #C35466) for hero fields.
- Keep buttons square, 11px uppercase with 1px tracking, padding 18px 35px 16px, and lift them 5px on hover.
- Set paragraphs in Lora 16/26 in #767676 and headings in #121212.
- Use #D4D7DC for one full-width band per page.
- Keep cards and images flat and square.
- Round buttons, cards or images.
- Use Raleway, Source Serif Pro or Playfair Display, even though they are loaded.
- Add shadows to cards; the only shadow is the button hover.
- Set ink-muted #767676 text on the #D4D7DC band below 23px; it is about 3.1:1 there. On white it passes.
- Use ink-subtle #919191 for anything but inactive tabs at 16px; on the grey band it is only about 2.2:1.
- Put body-size white text on the green #A0CD4E; it is about 1.9:1. Keep the green button label at 11px weight 500 uppercase with 1px tracking only as a short action, and prefer the blue button wherever reading matters.
- Put long text in uppercase; keep it for titles, nav and buttons.

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/unpack.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

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.

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

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:
