# Design Brief: Dark Developer (with Gradient Glow)
Deep dark surfaces, monospace typography, terminal/code snippets, and high-precision borders.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #000000;
--surface: #1c1c24;
--foreground: #ffffff;
--muted-foreground: #b7b7c2;
--accent: #6e5cff;
--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 #000000 (~62%) · Surface #1C1C24 (~18%) · Text #FFFFFF (~8%) · Muted Text #B7B7C2 (~6%) · Accent #6E5CFF (~6%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
## Layout & Conversion Structure
- Hero layout: Headline Over Large Product Shot
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Pill; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension

## Avoid
