# Design Brief: Neo-Brutalism (with Soft & Friendly)

Bold black strokes, hard offset shadows, and high-saturation color blocks.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #fff6ed;
  --surface: #ffffff;
  --foreground: #111111;
  --muted-foreground: #635b55;
  --accent: #1263d1;
  --radius: 8px;
  --font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FFF6ED (~78%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~8%) · Text #111111 (~8%) · Muted Text #635B55 (~3%) · Accent #1263D1 (~3%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.

## Layout & Conversion Structure

- Hero layout: Centered Headline + CTA
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Medium Radius; use elevation shadows to separate layers
- Primary visual medium: Product UI Screenshot / Component
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try · Trust bar uses Live Generated Output Showcase
- Headline hook: Pain Relief & Replacement
- Hero components: Large Hero Product Shot, Floating Multi-Cards
- Spatial layout notes: Centered Headline + CTA hero structure paired with direct input / instant try CTA and live generated output showcase.
- Visual summary: Neo-Brutalism (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring centered headline + cta layout and product ui screenshot / component visuals.

## Avoid

- Soft blurred shadows
- Low-contrast gray-on-gray borders
- Subtle translucent glassmorphism

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.
