# Design Brief: Dark Developer (with Gradient Glow)

Deep dark surfaces, monospace typography, terminal/code snippets, and high-precision borders.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #050505;
  --surface: #17130b;
  --foreground: #f4f2f0;
  --muted-foreground: #a8a5a2;
  --accent: #ffb900;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #050505 (~82%) · Surface #17130B (~4%) · Text #F4F2F0 (~7%) · Muted Text #A8A5A2 (~5%) · Accent #FFB900 (~2%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
