# Design Brief: Editorial (with Minimal Monochrome)
Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #ffffff;
--surface: #f3f0e8;
--foreground: #191918;
--muted-foreground: #858580;
--accent: #159a77;
--radius: 8px;
--font-heading: "Libre Baskerville", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~55%) · Surface #F3F0E8 (~37%) · Text #191918 (~3%) · Muted Text #858580 (~4%) · Accent #159A77 (~1%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
