# Design Brief: Gradient Glow (with 3D Tactile)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #0a0a12;
  --surface: #242428;
  --foreground: #f5f5f7;
  --muted-foreground: #9a9aa3;
  --accent: #6b4bff;
  --radius: 16px;
  --font-heading: "Instrument Serif", serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #0A0A12 (~38%) · Surface #242428 (~14%) · Text #F5F5F7 (~10%) · Muted Text #9A9AA3 (~8%) · Accent #6B4BFF (~30%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + Input
- Navigation: Floating Pill Nav
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Large Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Interactive Hero Demo / Tool
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Stacked Avatars & Testimonials
- Headline hook: Direct Action Command
- Hero components: Centered Prompt / Input, Metrics Strip, Floating Multi-Cards
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + Input hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and stacked avatars & testimonials.
- Visual summary: Gradient Glow (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + input layout and interactive hero demo / tool 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.
