# Design Brief: Editorial (with Minimal Monochrome)

Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #fffcf5;
  --surface: #1a3252;
  --foreground: #1b1915;
  --muted-foreground: #827f7a;
  --accent: #0c3b3a;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Reckless Standard S", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Reckless Standard S", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFCF5 (~70%) · Surface #1A3252 (~13%) · Text #1B1915 (~8%) · Muted Text #827F7A (~5%) · Accent #0C3B3A (~4%). 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: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Dense
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Video Demo
- Spatial layout notes: Full-Bleed Canvas / Video / 3D hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Editorial (Light canvas, dense density) featuring full-bleed canvas / video / 3d layout and photography / live video visuals.

## Avoid

- Generic SaaS hero templates
- Cramped multi-column feature grids
- Neon cyber accents

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.
