# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic (with Minimal Monochrome)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffffff;
  --surface: #f5f5f5;
  --foreground: #222222;
  --muted-foreground: #555555;
  --accent: #2784d5;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Pixelated display font", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Pixelated display font", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~91%) · Surface #F5F5F5 (~2%) · Text #222222 (~4%) · Muted Text #555555 (~1%) · Accent #2784D5 (~2%). 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: Minimal Logo + Action
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up
- Headline hook: Category Positioning Anchor
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Retro & Nostalgic (Light canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and pure typography & geometry 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.
