# Design Brief: Precision Swiss Grid (with Dark Developer)

Exposed 1px hairline grid rules with intersection crosshairs, modular bento cards, and strict geometric alignment with modern engineering craft.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #1b2433;
  --surface: #232c3d;
  --foreground: #f4f7fb;
  --muted-foreground: #8d97a8;
  --accent: #3b82f6;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Archivo Black", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "JetBrains Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #1B2433 (~46%) · Surface #232C3D (~28%) · Text #F4F7FB (~14%) · Muted Text #8D97A8 (~7%) · Accent #3B82F6 (~5%). 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: Small Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Target Audience Callout
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Precision Swiss Grid (Dark canvas, dense density) featuring split copy & visual layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Soft organic blobs
- Misaligned freeform floating elements
- Heavy drop shadows that obscure grid hairlines

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.
