# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly
Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #00231f;
--surface: #ffffff;
--foreground: #f7f8f7;
--muted-foreground: #87938f;
--accent: #00a975;
--radius: 16px;
--font-heading: "Plus Jakarta Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Plus Jakarta Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #00231F (~79%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~7%) · Text #F7F8F7 (~7%) · Muted Text #87938F (~3%) · Accent #00A975 (~4%). 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: Floating Pill Nav
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Large Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Metrics Strip, Customer Logo Wall
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.
## Avoid
- Harsh pure-black backgrounds
- Sharp 0px corners
- Cold technical jargon in hero copy
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.
