# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic
Pixel typography, classic OS window chrome, or warm vintage print palettes.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #091219;
--surface: #727f95;
--foreground: #efe3c0;
--muted-foreground: #969d97;
--accent: #963c25;
--radius: 4px;
--font-heading: "Special Elite", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Arial", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #091219 (~57%) · Surface #727F95 (~29%) · Text #EFE3C0 (~8%) · Muted Text #969D97 (~2%) · Accent #963C25 (~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 · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component

## 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.
