Guidelines
- Use GeistSans for all text, without exception.
- Apply aggressive negative letter-spacing to headings 24px and larger.
- Adhere strictly to the achromatic palette; all color comes from content, not chrome.
- Use 8px radius for buttons and 12px for cards and inputs.
- Use 1px solid #eaeaea for all visual dividers.
- Differentiate action hierarchy using fills and borders: solid for primary, bordered for secondary, text-only for tertiary.
- Maintain generous whitespace (min. 96px) between content sections.
- Do not introduce any saturated colors to the UI chrome.
- Do not use system fonts or other brand fonts.
- Do not use shadows on interactive elements like buttons or inputs; reserve them for cards.
- Do not use any border-radius values other than 6px, 8px, 12px, or 9999px (for pills).
- Do not use gradients or background images.
- Do not use bold (700+) font weights; rely on 600 weight and size for emphasis.
- Do not create dense layouts; prioritize clarity and space.
About this system
ShowHide
The design feels like a functional schematic on a stark white drafting table. Its nearly monochrome palette — #FFFFFF, #FAFAFA, #EAEAEA, #171717 — creates a utility-first atmosphere where user input is the only source of color. Typography is the main architectural element; a custom sans-serif is used everywhere, with tight negative letter-spacing at large sizes creating dense, impactful headlines. The UI is built from simple primitives: solid black CTAs with an 8px radius and subtly bordered white chips, distinguishing primary commands from secondary suggestions.
The layout is clean and centered within a generous max-width container (approx. 1440px). The header is full-width with a 1px bottom border. The hero area is a simple centered stack comprising a headline, a large input field, and suggestion chips. Body sections are separated by large vertical whitespace (~96px) on the Canvas (#fafafa) background, creating a spacious rhythm. Content grids, such as the 3-column template gallery, are the primary structure for displaying information.
This design uses no decorative imagery. Visuals are strictly confined to user-generated content previews within the Template Cards. These thumbnails are presented as raw, unstyled content inside a 12px rounded container. The page is UI-dominant, with imagery serving only to showcase product output, not to build atmosphere.
