# Design Brief: Editorial (with Soft & Friendly)

Oversized serif headlines, narrow reading columns, and magazine-inspired grid layouts.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #f5e9d9;
  --surface: #f8efe4;
  --foreground: #241b17;
  --muted-foreground: #74685c;
  --accent: #d58c53;
  --radius: 16px;
  --font-heading: "Instrument Serif", serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #F5E9D9 (~89%) · Surface #F8EFE4 (~4%) · Text #241B17 (~3%) · Muted Text #74685C (~2%) · Accent #D58C53 (~2%). 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: Minimal Logo + Action
- Theme & density: Light · Airy
- Border radius & elevation: Large Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Pure Typography & Geometry
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try
- Headline hook: Direct Action Command
- Hero components: Centered Prompt / Input
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + Input hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and no explicit trust bar.
- Visual summary: Editorial (Light canvas, airy density) featuring centered headline + input layout and pure typography & geometry visuals.

## Avoid

- Generic SaaS hero templates
- Cramped multi-column feature grids
- Neon cyber accents

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.
