# Design Brief: Editorial

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #050507;
  --surface: #111827;
  --foreground: #f5f2f2;
  --muted-foreground: #aaa7b0;
  --accent: #f000c8;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Roboto Slab", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #050507 (~73%) · Surface #111827 (~7%) · Text #F5F2F2 (~9%) · Muted Text #AAA7B0 (~3%) · Accent #F000C8 (~8%). 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 · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Editorial (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta 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.
