Quando Usar

Reach for this when a project needs to feel like a half-remembered dream from 1996. Music releases, art zines, retro gaming interfaces, brands that want to signal internet-native nostalgia without the harshness of glitch or the aggression of synthwave. It works when you want viewers to feel something soft and slightly sad — not energized, not disturbed. If your project needs to evoke longing for digital spaces that no longer exist (or never did), this is your palette.

Princípios de Design

• Soft gradients over hard edges — pink bleeds into purple bleeds into teal. Nothing starts or stops cleanly. Transitions should feel like fading memories, not UI boundaries.
• Classical fragments, never whole — a bust cropped at the shoulders, a column with no building. Completeness breaks the spell. Everything implies something larger that's been lost.
• Depth through haze, not contrast — layers exist but they're separated by fog, not shadow. Reduce opacity before reaching for drop shadows. The atmosphere IS the hierarchy.
• Typography as texture — Japanese characters you can't read, early-internet system fonts at unexpected scales. Text communicates mood before meaning.
• Deliberate emptiness — negative space isn't unused space, it's the void between remembered things. Let compositions breathe with the same silence between slowed-down samples.
