# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic (with Dark Developer)

Pixel typography, classic OS window chrome, or warm vintage print palettes.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #000000;
  --surface: #000000;
  --foreground: #c0c0c0;
  --muted-foreground: #8a8a8a;
  --accent: #c0c0c0;
  --radius: 0px;
  --font-heading: "Pixelated MS Sans Serif", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Pixelated MS Sans Serif", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "Courier New", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #000000 (~88%) · Surface #000000 (~1%) · Text #C0C0C0 (~7%) · Muted Text #8A8A8A (~3%) · Accent #C0C0C0 (~1%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Full-Bleed Canvas / Video / 3D
- Navigation: No Explicit Nav
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Sharp; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Code Block / Terminal / CLI
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Code & Terminal
- Spatial layout notes: Full-Bleed Canvas / Video / 3D hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Retro & Nostalgic (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring full-bleed canvas / video / 3d layout and code block / terminal / cli visuals.

## Avoid

- Generic modern corporate gradients
- Inconsistent mixing of modern flat UI and retro chrome

Implement the UI following the design tokens and layout specifications above: use only these color variables, and reserve the accent color strictly for primary actions and active states. Adopt only this visual style—never copy any reference product’s brand name, logo, copy, or imagery.
