# Design Brief: Neo-Brutalism

Bold black strokes, hard offset shadows, and high-saturation color blocks.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #2b2b2b;
  --surface: #1d8ec4;
  --foreground: #ffffff;
  --muted-foreground: #8e8e8e;
  --accent: #f2d34a;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Special Elite", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #2B2B2B (~38%) · Surface #1D8EC4 (~34%) · Text #FFFFFF (~10%) · Muted Text #8E8E8E (~6%) · Accent #F2D34A (~12%). 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 · Dense
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Neo-Brutalism (Dark canvas, dense density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and pure typography & geometry visuals.

## Avoid

- Soft blurred shadows
- Low-contrast gray-on-gray borders
- Subtle translucent glassmorphism

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.
