# Design Brief: Editorial (with Minimal Monochrome)

Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #252525;
  --surface: #191919;
  --foreground: #f3f3f0;
  --muted-foreground: #aaaaaa;
  --accent: #9bcbfa;
  --radius: 16px;
  --font-heading: "Georgia", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #252525 (~43%) · Surface #191919 (~39%) · Text #F3F3F0 (~6%) · Muted Text #AAAAAA (~4%) · Accent #9BCBFA (~8%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Hero Bento Grid
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Dense
- Border radius & elevation: Large Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try
- Headline hook: Outcome & Speed Promise
- Hero components: Bento Grid, Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Hero Bento Grid hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Editorial (Dark canvas, dense density) featuring hero bento grid layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Generic SaaS hero templates
- Cramped multi-column feature grids
- Neon cyber accents

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.
