# Design Brief: Minimal Monochrome (with Dark Developer)

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

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #111012;
  --surface: #1b1a1d;
  --foreground: #e9e8ec;
  --muted-foreground: #929096;
  --accent: #5598ed;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "IBM Plex Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
  --font-body: "Noto Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-mono: "IBM Plex Mono", ui-monospace, monospace;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #111012 (~82%) · Surface #1B1A1D (~8%) · Text #E9E8EC (~5%) · Muted Text #929096 (~4%) · Accent #5598ED (~1%). 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: Left App Sidebar
- Theme & density: Dark · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Interactive Hero Tool, Metrics Strip
- Spatial layout notes: Full-Bleed Canvas / Video / 3D hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Minimal Monochrome (Dark canvas, balanced density) featuring full-bleed canvas / video / 3d layout and product ui screenshot / component 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.
