Unwork Design System
Unwork is a dark, product-marketing style agency template. It sits on pure black with clean Manrope 600 headlines, small 600-weight body text in white at 60%, and a handful of bright accent colours (mint, blue, pink, purple, orange) used only on buttons, pills, one-line eyebrows and one blue social-proof link. It reads like a SaaS landing page: clear hierarchy, rectangular buttons, and soft lifestyle photography. The wordmark on the live site reads unork.
Four signatures make it recognisable:
- Split lead sentence. The hero lead and similar intros start in full white and finish in white at 50%: "Use Unork's interactive design tools. It's ton of customization options…". The same two-tone trick runs through the page.
- Giant background letter. A 600px U in white at 10% sits behind the centred quote section, with a pink pill tag, a 48px quote and a white button stacked on top of it.
- Colour-coded pills. Each project or post carries a rounded pill in its own colour: mint Marketing, purple Design, pink Code, orange and pink caps tags (LOGO, USER INTERFACE, USER INTERFACE).
- Frosted black nav. A 120px nav in black at 90% with a 10px backdrop blur: logo, a thin vertical divider, 18px links at 60%, Search and a mint Buy Unork button.
Unwork is a dark-only design.

Do’s and don’ts
- Keep the page on #000000 and alternate sections with #111111; put cards on #171717.
- Set headlines in Manrope 600 with no tracking and body copy in 16px 600 at #FFFFFF99.
- Split leads into a white first clause and a #FFFFFF80 second clause.
- Use 6px-radius rectangular buttons for main actions and full pills only for the signup bar.
- Colour-code categories with the fixed set: #3CCF91, #5032C1, #FF6996, #FBB348.
- Use the frosted #000000E6 nav with a 10px blur.
- Put white text on #3CCF91, #FF6996 or #FBB348 below 16px 700; those pairs are only about 1.8–2.7:1. Keep them to short, bold button and tag labels.
- Use an accent colour for paragraphs or large backgrounds.
- Round project or hero images; they are square-cornered.
- Add drop shadows to cards; depth comes from the grey steps.
- Use more than one background letter per page or raise it above 10% white.
- Set body copy in full white; it is 60%.
- Use blue #3C5CCF for small text on black: it is about 3.6:1. Keep blue links at 17px 500+ and short.

The whole design system in one markdown file, written for AI: every color, type style, spacing value, component and motion rule, plus do's, don'ts and a ready prompt.
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/unwork.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
sourceat it to generate tokens for any platform - In code, import it like any JSON file
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.
Best for
Tailwind v4 projects, and AI builders that write Tailwind (v0, Lovable, Bolt).
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
What it is
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:
color: var(--color-ink) - Change a token once and every place that uses it follows
