# Design Brief: Editorial (with Minimal Monochrome)
Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #141311;
--surface: #2a2926;
--foreground: #f4f1ea;
--muted-foreground: #a39e94;
--accent: #ffffff;
--radius: 9999px;
--font-heading: "Cormorant Garamond", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #141311 (~58%) · Surface #2A2926 (~20%) · Text #F4F1EA (~10%) · Muted Text #A39E94 (~7%) · Accent #FFFFFF (~5%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
