Do
- Use Midnight (#000000) for all page backgrounds to maintain atmospheric depth.
- Apply Recoleta for all primary headlines, leveraging its unique tracking values for distinct visual impact.
- Implement 100px border-radius for all primary buttons to achieve a soft, pill-shaped aesthetic.
- Employ the Iridescent Glow gradient (linear-gradient(90deg, #feed7a, #ff8400, #df91f7)) for any elements requiring unique visual emphasis or product highlights.
- Ensure Ghost Ash (#f6f6f4) is the default text color on dark backgrounds, providing maximum contrast and legibility.
- Maintain generous spacing with a base unit of 4px and elemental gaps around 20px, fostering a comfortable content density.
Don't
- Avoid harsh, solid borders or backgrounds, except for functional elements that require clear separation.
- Do not use highly saturated colors for text except for specific accent elements; stick to Ghost Ash (#f6f6f4) and Midnight (#000000) for content.
- Do not introduce sharp corners or small radii on interactive elements; favor the 16px and 100px radii for organic, approachable shapes.
- Avoid generic system fonts for any primary heading or body text; always use Recoleta or Oldschool Grotesk.
- Do not use explicit drop shadows for elevation; rely on subtle inset shadows (rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25) 0px 0.636826px 3.82096px 0px inset) for depth on dark surfaces.
- Do not introduce competing gradients; the Iridescent Glow is the signature gradient.
