# Design Brief: Gradient Glow (with Editorial)

Luminous radial glows and translucent glass panels, widely used across modern AI products.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #141310;
  --surface: #24221d;
  --foreground: #f3f0ea;
  --muted-foreground: #b7b2aa;
  --accent: #eba58b;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Cormorant Garamond", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "DM Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "IBM Plex Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #141310 (~58%) · Surface #24221D (~17%) · Text #F3F0EA (~6%) · Muted Text #B7B2AA (~4%) · Accent #EBA58B (~15%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Headline Over Large Product Shot
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Headline Over Large Product Shot hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Gradient Glow (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring headline over large product shot layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Muddy low-contrast text over gradients
- Overuse of full-screen rainbow backgrounds
- Cluttered dense tables in the hero

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.
