# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly (with Editorial)

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #d4d5cd;
  --surface: #fffcfa;
  --foreground: #101010;
  --muted-foreground: #777579;
  --accent: #c92f55;
  --radius: 16px;
  --font-heading: "DM Serif Display", serif;
  --font-body: "Roboto", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #D4D5CD (~48%) · Surface #FFFCFA (~35%) · Text #101010 (~4%) · Muted Text #777579 (~7%) · Accent #C92F55 (~7%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + Input
- Navigation: Floating Pill Nav
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Large Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: 3D Render / Tactile Object
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Centered Prompt / Input
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + Input hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + input layout and 3d render / tactile object 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.
