Post excerpt:
I saw the 'map of torii' post yesterday and thought y'all might like to see the small app I've been working on that uses HMDB.org data to map historical markers around the world. HMDB has been aggregating markers for over 15 years and back when I was living out of my van and traveling full-time I wanted to get notified whenever I passed one, so I built a mob

# Design Brief: Hand-Drawn & Sketch (with Soft & Friendly)

Handwritten display accents, doodle annotations, and sketch-style illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #3d5434;
  --surface: #f5f0e5;
  --foreground: #f5e8d1;
  --muted-foreground: #d2d3c5;
  --accent: #f6c43e;
  --radius: 16px;
  --font-heading: "Caveat", serif;
  --font-body: "Courier New", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "Courier New", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #3D5434 (~55%) · Surface #F5F0E5 (~20%) · Text #F5E8D1 (~8%) · Muted Text #D2D3C5 (~7%) · Accent #F6C43E (~10%). 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: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Large Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Floating Multi-Cards, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Hand-Drawn & Sketch (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and photography / live video visuals.

## Avoid

- Rigid corporate stock photography
- Heavy 3D metallic renders
- Overly dense enterprise dashboards

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.
