About Retro Vintage's design language
Retro Vintage belongs to the Style Genre design category. Its visual identity is defined by a distinctive approach to color usage, typography hierarchy, spacing rhythm, and motion behavior. UIFit reverse-engineers this design language into structured tokens that developers can use directly in their projects.
Export Retro Vintage design tokens in 7 formats
- .cursorrules for Cursor IDE — Drop into your project root. Cursor automatically follows Retro Vintage's design language when generating UI code.
- AI System Prompt — A 300+ line design specification for Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI assistant. Paste as system prompt and every UI component matches Retro Vintage's visual style.
- shadcn/ui Theme — Paste-ready CSS variables for all shadcn/ui tokens. Your shadcn components instantly adopt Retro Vintage's color system, radius, and dark mode values.
- Tailwind Config — Complete tailwind.config.ts with Retro Vintage's color palette, font stack, spacing scale, border radius tokens, and shadow levels.
- CSS Variables — Framework-agnostic custom properties. Works with any web project — React, Vue, Svelte, plain HTML.
- SwiftUI Tokens — DesignSystem.swift file with Color, Font, and spacing extensions for native iOS and macOS development.
- JSON Design Tokens — Structured token file compatible with Style Dictionary and custom token pipelines.
How to use Retro Vintage design tokens with AI coding tools
Using UIFit with Cursor: Export the .cursorrules file and place it at your project root. Cursor picks it up automatically — no configuration needed. Every component Cursor generates will follow Retro Vintage's visual language.
Using UIFit with Claude: Export the AI System Prompt and add it as Claude's system prompt. From that point, Claude generates UI code that matches Retro Vintage's design aesthetic — colors, spacing, typography, and interaction patterns.
Using UIFit with shadcn/ui: Export the shadcn/ui Theme file and replace the default CSS variables in your globals.css. All existing shadcn components — Button, Card, Input, Dialog — automatically update to Retro Vintage's visual style.
Fine-tuning Retro Vintage's design system
UIFit lets you adjust 8 dimensions before exporting: color palette variation, light/dark mode default, border radius intensity, motion speed, component density, button style, divider visibility, and surface material. Export a version that's inspired by Retro Vintage but tailored to your product's specific needs.
