# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome (with Editorial)

Monochrome palette with a single accent color, hairline dividers, and generous whitespace.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #477687;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #f7f7f4;
  --muted-foreground: #d9e0dd;
  --accent: #ffffff;
  --radius: 0px;
  --font-heading: "futura-pt", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "futura-pt", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #477687 (~82%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~4%) · Text #F7F7F4 (~4%) · Muted Text #D9E0DD (~6%) · Accent #FFFFFF (~4%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Full-Bleed Canvas / Video / 3D
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Dark · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Sharp; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Direct Checkout / View Pricing
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Video Demo
- Spatial layout notes: Full-Bleed Canvas / Video / 3D hero structure paired with direct checkout / view pricing CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Dark canvas, airy density) featuring full-bleed canvas / video / 3d layout and photography / live video visuals.

## Avoid

- Multi-stop neon gradients
- Heavy drop shadows
- More than one competing accent color

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.
