What kobu.co does well

Typography does the heavy lifting — hierarchy, scale and rhythm replace decoration.

Norrly generates a complete founding prompt from the measured values above — theme, exact hex colors, type scale, button geometry, section structure, motion rules and hard constraints. Paste it into Lovable, Cursor, v0 or Bolt to start from kobu.co's design language instead of AI defaults. A preview:
