# Design Brief: Soft & Friendly

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #ffffff;
  --surface: #ff9635;
  --foreground: #000000;
  --muted-foreground: #22323d;
  --accent: #ff9635;
  --radius: 9999px;
  --font-heading: "Poppins", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Open Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~76%) · Surface #FF9635 (~11%) · Text #000000 (~6%) · Muted Text #22323D (~4%) · Accent #FF9635 (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Headline Over Large Product Shot
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Pill; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Direct Checkout / View Pricing
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Spatial layout notes: Headline Over Large Product Shot hero structure paired with direct checkout / view pricing CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Soft & Friendly (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring headline over large product shot layout and pure typography & geometry visuals.

## Avoid

- Harsh pure-black backgrounds
- Sharp 0px corners
- Cold technical jargon in hero copy

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.
