# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome (with Gradient Glow)

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f7f6f1;
  --surface: #e0dce8;
  --foreground: #285580;
  --muted-foreground: #8292ab;
  --accent: #ef7479;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "DM Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "DM Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F7F6F1 (~77%) · Surface #E0DCE8 (~12%) · Text #285580 (~6%) · Muted Text #8292AB (~4%) · Accent #EF7479 (~1%). 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: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Outcome & Speed Promise
- Hero components: Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Light canvas, airy density) featuring split copy & visual layout and pure typography & geometry visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

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.
