Design System: Tenebrism

1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

Tenebrism-inspired landing page with extreme contrast between light and deep darkness. Ideal for pôsteres atmosféricos, flyers de eventos, spreads editoriais, embalagens premium. AI-ready template.

  • Density: 5/10 — Balanced
  • Variance: 4/10 — Moderate
  • Motion: 6/10 — Expressive

2. Color Palette & Roles

  • Deep Black (#050505) — Dark surface, primary background
  • Warm Spotlight (#F5D5A0) — Secondary surface or text color
  • Rich Brown (#3A2A1A) — Supporting palette color
  • Ivory Highlight (#FFF8E7) — Light surface, card backgrounds
  • Blood Red (#8B0000) — Error states, destructive actions
  • Deep Gold (#B8860B) — Premium accent, decorative highlights
  • Midnight Blue (#0D1B2A) — Deep contrast surface
  • Warm Grey (#4A4A3A) — Secondary text, borders, muted elements

3. Typography Rules

  • Display / Hero: Cormorant — Weight 700, tight tracking, used for headline impact
  • Body: Cormorant — Weight 400, 16px/1.6 line-height, max 72ch per line
  • UI Labels / Captions: Cormorant — 0.875rem, weight 500, slight letter-spacing
  • Monospace: JetBrains Mono — Used for code, metadata, and technical values

Scale:

  • Hero: clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem)
  • H1: 2.25rem
  • H2: 1.5rem
  • Body: 1rem / 1.6
  • Small: 0.875rem

4. Component Stylings

  • Primary Button: Subtly rounded (0.5rem) shape. Accent color fill. Hover: 8% darken + subtle lift shadow. Active: -1px translate tactile press. Font weight 600. No outer glows.
  • Secondary / Ghost Button: Outline variant. 1.5px border in muted color. Text in primary color. Hover: subtle background fill.
  • Cards: Subtly rounded (0.5rem) corners. Surface background. Subtle shadow (0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.06)). 1px border stroke.
  • Inputs: Label above input. 1px border stroke. Focus ring: 2px accent color offset 2px. Error text below in semantic red. No floating labels.
  • Navigation: Primary surface background. Active item: accent color indicator. Font weight 500 when active.
  • Skeletons: Shimmer animation matching component dimensions. No circular spinners.
  • Empty States: Icon-based composition with descriptive text and action button.

5. Layout Principles

  • Grid: CSS Grid primary. Max-width containment: 1280px centered with 1.5rem side padding.
  • Spacing rhythm: Balanced. Base unit: 0.5rem (8px).
  • Section vertical gaps: clamp(4rem, 8vw, 8rem).
  • Hero layout: Split-screen (text left, visual right).
  • Feature sections: Zig-zag alternating text+image rows. No 3-equal-columns.
  • Mobile collapse: All multi-column layouts collapse below 768px. No horizontal overflow.
  • z-index contract: base (0) / sticky-nav (100) / overlay (200) / modal (300) / toast (500).

6. Motion & Interaction

  • Physics: Spring — stiffness 120, damping 20. Confident, weighted transitions.
  • Entry animations: Fade + translate-Y (16px → 0) over 480ms ease-out. Staggered cascades for lists: 100ms between items.
  • Hover states: Scale(1.03) + shadow lift over 200ms.
  • Page transitions: Fade + slide (300ms).
  • Performance: Only transform and opacity animated. No layout-triggering properties.

7. Anti-Patterns (Banned)

  • No emojis in UI — use icon system only (Lucide, Heroicons)
  • No pure white (#FFFFFF) backgrounds — use off-white or dark surfaces
  • No oversaturated accent colors (saturation cap: 80%)
  • No 3-column equal-width feature layouts — use zig-zag or asymmetric grid
  • No h-screen — use min-h-[100dvh]
  • No AI copywriting clichés: "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen"
  • No broken external image links — use picsum.photos or inline SVG
  • No generic lorem ipsum in demos

Execution Rules

  1. Strictly follow the defined visual style.
  2. Use high-quality inline SVG icons (Heroicons or Lucide style) — NEVER use emojis as icons.
  3. Add cursor-pointer and smooth hover states (transition-all) on all interactive elements.
  4. Required Page Structure:
    • Navbar (Logo + Links + CTA)
    • Hero Section (Impactful Headline + Subtitle + 2 buttons + 3D/Abstract visual element via CSS)
    • Features (3 cards with icons)
    • Testimonials (3 cards)
    • Pricing (3 tiers, highlight the middle one)
    • Final CTA
    • Full Footer with social links, privacy policy, terms of use, contact and SEO links.
  5. All text content must be in English.
  6. The visual must be CLEARLY distinct — do not create a "default Bootstrap" design. Force the use of the provided design system variables.
  7. Use <style> tags in the head for custom classes (especially for complex backdrop-filter effects and animations) that Tailwind CDN doesn't cover.
  8. Full Responsiveness: Layout must adapt perfectly to Mobile, Tablet and Desktop (vertical stack on mobile).
  9. Include basic SEO, Viewport and Open Graph meta tags in <head>.
  10. Footer must contain: Copyright 2026, Secondary navigation links and Social media icons.
  11. Make the creative decisions needed to deliver the complete, functional result now.
