# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic (with Minimal Monochrome)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f9f9f9;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #000000;
  --muted-foreground: #777777;
  --accent: #00a4f6;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Helvetica Neue", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Helvetica Neue", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F9F9F9 (~45%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~37%) · Text #000000 (~8%) · Muted Text #777777 (~6%) · Accent #00A4F6 (~4%). 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 · Dense
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Bento Grid, Interactive Hero Tool
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Retro & Nostalgic (Light canvas, dense density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and pure typography & geometry 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.
