# Design Brief: Dark Developer (with Minimal Monochrome)

Deep dark surfaces, monospace typography, terminal/code snippets, and high-precision borders.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #121212;
  --surface: #171819;
  --foreground: #ffffff;
  --muted-foreground: #cfd2d1;
  --accent: #55b5db;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Ubuntu", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Ubuntu", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "monospace", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #121212 (~80%) · Surface #171819 (~7%) · Text #FFFFFF (~6%) · Muted Text #CFD2D1 (~4%) · Accent #55B5DB (~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: Minimal Logo + Action
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Direct Action Command
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Interactive Hero Tool, Code & Terminal
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Dark Developer (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Warm pastel backgrounds
- Playful cartoon illustrations
- Oversized pill buttons everywhere

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.
