# Design Brief: Hand-Drawn & Sketch (with Editorial)
Handwritten display accents, doodle annotations, and sketch-style illustrations.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #ffffff;
--surface: #414140;
--foreground: #333333;
--muted-foreground: #4d96c6;
--accent: #1c6391;
--radius: 4px;
--font-heading: "Noto Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Noto Sans", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #FFFFFF (~72%) · Surface #414140 (~10%) · Text #333333 (~7%) · Muted Text #4D96C6 (~6%) · Accent #1C6391 (~5%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
## Layout & Conversion Structure
- Hero layout: Split Copy & Visual
- Navigation: Full-Width Top Bar
- Theme & density: Light · Balanced
- Border radius & elevation: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Illustration / Character Art
- Conversion CTA: Email Capture / Waitlist · Trust bar uses User Count, Rating, or Key Metrics
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- Hero components: Custom Illustration
- Spatial layout notes: Split Copy & Visual hero structure paired with email capture / waitlist CTA and user count, rating, or key metrics.
- Visual summary: Hand-Drawn & Sketch (Light canvas, balanced density) featuring split copy & visual layout and illustration / character art visuals.
## Avoid
- Rigid corporate stock photography
- Heavy 3D metallic renders
- Overly dense enterprise dashboards
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.
