# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic (with Editorial)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #fffacd;
  --surface: #666622;
  --foreground: #000000;
  --muted-foreground: #0000ee;
  --accent: #800000;
  --radius: 0px;
  --font-heading: "Ubuntu", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Ubuntu", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFACD (~78%) · Surface #666622 (~9%) · Text #000000 (~6%) · Muted Text #0000EE (~4%) · Accent #800000 (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Sharp; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Direct Checkout / View Pricing
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with direct checkout / view pricing CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Retro & Nostalgic (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and photography / live video 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.
