# Design Brief: Gradient Glow (with Soft & Friendly)

Luminous radial glows and translucent glass panels, widely used across modern AI products.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #0d0a18;
  --surface: #1c172d;
  --foreground: #f5effc;
  --muted-foreground: #a39ab4;
  --accent: #824bf2;
  --radius: 16px;
  --font-heading: "Nunito", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Nunito", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #0D0A18 (~57%) · Surface #1C172D (~30%) · Text #F5EFFC (~5%) · Muted Text #A39AB4 (~3%) · Accent #824BF2 (~5%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Left App Sidebar
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Large Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Outcome & Speed Promise
- Hero components: Custom Illustration, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Gradient Glow (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Muddy low-contrast text over gradients
- Overuse of full-screen rainbow backgrounds
- Cluttered dense tables in the hero

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.
