# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly (with Minimal Monochrome)

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f7f7f7;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #191622;
  --muted-foreground: #77757c;
  --accent: #4ddec7;
  --radius: 9999px;
  --font-heading: "Circular Std", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Circular Std", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F7F7F7 (~72%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~8%) · Text #191622 (~5%) · Muted Text #77757C (~2%) · Accent #4DDEC7 (~13%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
