# Design Brief: Gradient Glow (with Minimal Monochrome)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #14110f;
  --surface: #2c2c2e;
  --foreground: #ffffff;
  --muted-foreground: #a8a29e;
  --accent: #f5f5f5;
  --radius: 9999px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #14110F (~62%) · Surface #2C2C2E (~8%) · Text #FFFFFF (~12%) · Muted Text #A8A29E (~10%) · Accent #F5F5F5 (~8%). 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: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Pill; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension · Trust bar uses Customer / Press Logo Strip
- Headline hook: Direct Action Command
- Hero components: Customer Logo Wall
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and customer / press logo strip.
- Visual summary: Gradient Glow (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and pure typography & geometry 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.
