# Design Brief: Dark Developer (with Gradient Glow)
Deep dark surfaces, monospace typography, terminal/code snippets, and high-precision borders.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #191a1b;
--surface: #29282a;
--foreground: #f4f2f1;
--muted-foreground: #a5a3a3;
--accent: #42b7be;
--radius: 16px;
--font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-mono: "Geist Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #191A1B (~62%) · Surface #29282A (~16%) · Text #F4F2F1 (~9%) · Muted Text #A5A3A3 (~8%) · Accent #42B7BE (~5%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
