# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic (with Dark Developer)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #0e1a14;
  --surface: #13231b;
  --foreground: #ffffff;
  --muted-foreground: #9ab0a2;
  --accent: #f5b738;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Press Start 2P", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "Press Start 2P", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #0E1A14 (~65%) · Surface #13231B (~18%) · Text #FFFFFF (~7%) · Muted Text #9AB0A2 (~5%) · Accent #F5B738 (~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: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Interactive Hero Demo / Tool
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Interactive Hero Tool, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Retro & Nostalgic (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and interactive hero demo / tool 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.
