# Design Brief: Editorial (with Retro & Nostalgic)

Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #11100e;
  --surface: #f1e8d6;
  --foreground: #f5f0e6;
  --muted-foreground: #ada89e;
  --accent: #ff641f;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Instrument Serif", serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "IBM Plex Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #11100E (~57%) · Surface #F1E8D6 (~31%) · Text #F5F0E6 (~5%) · Muted Text #ADA89E (~3%) · Accent #FF641F (~4%). 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; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Editorial (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Generic SaaS hero templates
- Cramped multi-column feature grids
- Neon cyber accents

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.
