# Design Brief: Gradient Glow

Luminous radial glows and translucent glass panels, widely used across modern AI products.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #1a1714;
  --surface: #3c3c3c;
  --foreground: #f0ece4;
  --muted-foreground: #9a9a9a;
  --accent: #c45a1c;
  --radius: 0px;
  --font-heading: "Marcellus SC", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Open Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #1A1714 (~48%) · Surface #3C3C3C (~30%) · Text #F0ECE4 (~12%) · Muted Text #9A9A9A (~6%) · Accent #C45A1C (~4%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Dense
- Border radius & elevation: Sharp; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Email Capture / Waitlist · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with email capture / waitlist CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Gradient Glow (Dark canvas, dense density) featuring split copy & visual layout and illustration / character art visuals.

## Avoid

- Muddy low-contrast text over gradients
- Overuse of full-screen rainbow backgrounds
- Cluttered dense tables in the hero

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.
