# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic (with Soft & Friendly)

Pixel typography, classic OS window chrome, or warm vintage print palettes.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f4efe3;
  --surface: #fbf8f1;
  --foreground: #2a2438;
  --muted-foreground: #8a8494;
  --accent: #5b4bff;
  --radius: 0px;
  --font-heading: "Press Start 2P", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Press Start 2P", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F4EFE3 (~52%) · Surface #FBF8F1 (~16%) · Text #2A2438 (~14%) · Muted Text #8A8494 (~10%) · Accent #5B4BFF (~8%). 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: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Sharp; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Download App / Install Extension · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Customer Logo Wall
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with download app / install extension CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Retro & Nostalgic (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and photography / live video visuals.

## Avoid

- Generic modern corporate gradients
- Inconsistent mixing of modern flat UI and retro chrome

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.
