# Design Brief: Dark Developer (with Gradient Glow)

Deep dark surfaces, monospace typography, terminal/code snippets, and high-precision borders.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #000000;
  --surface: #1a1b26;
  --foreground: #ffffff;
  --muted-foreground: #c9c5d2;
  --accent: #8e51ff;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Noto Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Noto Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "SFMono-Regular", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #000000 (~69%) · Surface #1A1B26 (~17%) · Text #FFFFFF (~6%) · Muted Text #C9C5D2 (~4%) · Accent #8E51FF (~4%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Code Block / Terminal / CLI
- Conversion CTA: Start Free / Sign Up · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Code & Terminal
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with start free / sign up CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Dark Developer (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and code block / terminal / cli visuals.

## Avoid
