# Design Brief: Vibrant Pop (with Retro & Nostalgic)

Full-bleed high-saturation brand backdrops, oversized bold display type, and high-contrast buttons, common across creator tools and consumer apps.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #090909;
  --surface: #171717;
  --foreground: #f4eee8;
  --muted-foreground: #a5a1a0;
  --accent: #e52323;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Instrument Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Instrument Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #090909 (~66%) · Surface #171717 (~12%) · Text #F4EEE8 (~9%) · Muted Text #A5A1A0 (~4%) · Accent #E52323 (~9%). 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 · Dense
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Outcome & Speed Promise
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Vibrant Pop (Dark canvas, dense density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and photography / live video visuals.

## Avoid

- Muted corporate gray palettes
- Tiny low-contrast body text
- Overly formal enterprise tables

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.
