Stink Studios projects a bold, artistic, and somewhat stark aesthetic, primarily using a dark canvas with sharp, high-contrast typography. The design emphasizes content through large, impactful headlines and minimal, almost invisible UI elements. A distinct lack of rounded corners or elevation creates a flat, direct visual experience, with interactions often subtly outlined rather than filled. The overall impression is one of confident, unornamented creative expression. Prioritize Midnight Ink (#000000) for all main backgrounds and Paper White (#ffffff) for foreground text in a dark theme context. Use Times New Roman 400 at 60px with -0.05em letter-spacing for prominent page headlines to convey a bold, artistic statement. Maintain high typographic contrast: use Helvetica 300-700 for utilitarian text, and Helvetica 400 at 16px as the default body text. Keep all interactive elements visually minimal; prefer text-only or outline-only buttons with 0px corner radius. Apply 10px border-radius sparingly, primarily for input fields and specific form elements, maintaining an otherwise sharp aesthetic. Leverage the Courier New font with 0.10em letter-spacing for date stamps and meta-details to create a clear visual distinction from primary content. Employ a base unit of 20px horizontally and 60px vertically for section and element separation to establish a comfortable, open layout. Avoid using filled buttons unless explicitly specified for a unique interactive state; ghost buttons are the default. Do not introduce shadows or significant elevation, as the design system leans towards a flat, graphic quality. Do not use rounded corners universally; reserve 10px radius for specific functional elements like input fields. Avoid generic serif fonts for headlines; the distinct Times New Roman with specific letter-spacing is key to the brand's typographic identity. Do not use a light theme; the brand aesthetic is built around a dominant dark canvas, with white serving as a high-contrast foreground. Do not apply vibrant or highly saturated brand colors as backgrounds or prominent features; color should primarily be functional or an accent for semantic states. Avoid tight, dense layouts; provide ample space between sections and elements using the defined spacing tokens.
