Overview
NIMBUS is an industry design system for personal finance planning apps: budget dashboards, investing overviews, forecast views, plan pricing, onboarding prompts and product update decks. It sets whisper-weight Fraunces 300 headlines over a Nightfall / Night Card / Moon Graphite ground, with Golos Text for interface copy and Spline Sans Mono for labels and figures. Colour stays out of the chrome: Violet Hour, Orchid Dusk, High Altitude and Night Indigo appear only as full-bleed category tiles, and Forecast Cyan only as chart lines. The single primary action is a Cloud White pill, controls use 8px corners, cards 16px and category tiles 30px, with no shadows. The imagery language has Sky, Material and Detail roles: desaturated cloud photography, frosted violet glass and a tilted phone with an abstract chart. All plans, prices and figures are fictional placeholders, not financial advice. Included: foundations (color, type, spacing, imagery, patterns), components (buttons & tags, cards, dialog, forms, navigation, feedback, table), theme sheet, Cirrus finance planner landing starter, 16:9 product update deck, sample web photography in assets/imagery/, and README, AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md guides.
