# Design Brief: Retro & Nostalgic (with Minimal Monochrome)

Pixel typography, classic OS window chrome, or warm vintage print palettes.

## Design Tokens

```css
:root {
  --background: #fafafa;
  --surface: #efefef;
  --foreground: #7900a7;
  --muted-foreground: #b371cc;
  --accent: #7900a7;
  --radius: 4px;
  --font-heading: "Georgia", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
  --font-body: "Times New Roman", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```

Color area ratio: Background #FAFAFA (~80%) · Surface #EFEFEF (~7%) · Text #7900A7 (~6%) · Muted Text #B371CC (~4%) · Accent #7900A7 (~3%). 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: Small Radius; no drop shadows—separate layers with hairline borders and whitespace
- Primary visual medium: Photography / Live Video
- Conversion CTA: Direct Input / Instant Try
- Headline hook: Brand Manifesto & Curiosity
- 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.

## Avoid
