# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome (with Enterprise Clean)

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #252525;
  --surface: #202020;
  --foreground: #f5f5f5;
  --muted-foreground: #b8b8b8;
  --accent: #e95420;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Ubuntu", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Ubuntu", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #252525 (~72%) · Surface #202020 (~13%) · Text #F5F5F5 (~10%) · Muted Text #B8B8B8 (~3%) · Accent #E95420 (~2%). 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: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

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.
