# Design Brief: Editorial (with Soft & Friendly)
Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #f7f6f1;
--surface: #ffffff;
--foreground: #1c1c1c;
--muted-foreground: #8a8a86;
--accent: #111111;
--radius: 16px;
--font-heading: "Instrument Serif", serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #F7F6F1 (~62%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~16%) · Text #1C1C1C (~10%) · Muted Text #8A8A86 (~8%) · Accent #111111 (~4%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
