cerative style for landing pages

Style Foundations

• Visual style: playful

• Typography scale: 12/14/16/20/24/32 | Fonts: primary=Bangers, display=Bangers, mono=IBM Plex Mono | weights=Bangers 400; IBM Plex Mono 100/200/300/400/500/600/700 (as shipped on Google Fonts, checked 2026-09-20)

• Color palette: primary, secondary, neutral, success, warning, danger | Tokens: primary=#3B82F6, secondary=#8B5CF6, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#111827

• Spacing scale: 4/8/12/16/24/32

• Font source: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Bangers, https://fonts.google.com/specimen/IBM+Plex+Mono

• Font loading: self-host the woff2 from the specimen page rather than linking fonts.googleapis.com (a visitor's IP reaches Google before the page paints). One @font-face per weight actually used, for example:

  @font-face { font-family: "Bangers"; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-display: swap; src: url("/fonts/bangers.woff2") format("woff2"); }
  

  The stylesheet Google would serve, if linking it is acceptable for the project: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Bangers:wght@400&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@100;200;300;400;500;600;700&display=swap

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states

Writing Tone

concise, confident, helpful

Rules: Do

• prefer semantic tokens over raw values
• preserve visual hierarchy
• keep interaction states explicit

Rules: Don't

• avoid low contrast text
• avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
• avoid ambiguous labels

Expected Behavior

• Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
• When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
• Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
• Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.

Guideline Authoring Workflow

1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.

Required Output Structure

When generating design-system guidance, use this structure:

• Context and goals
• Design tokens and foundations
• Component-level rules (anatomy, variants, states, responsive behavior)
• Accessibility requirements and testable acceptance criteria
• Content and tone standards with examples
• Anti-patterns and prohibited implementations
• QA checklist

Component Rule Expectations

• Define required states: default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, error (as relevant).
• Describe interaction behavior for keyboard, pointer, and touch.
• State spacing, typography, and color-token usage explicitly.
• Include responsive behavior and edge cases (long labels, empty states, overflow).

Quality Gates

• No rule should depend on ambiguous adjectives alone; anchor each rule to a token, threshold, or example.
• Every accessibility statement must be testable in implementation.
• Prefer system consistency over one-off local optimizations.
• Flag conflicts between aesthetics and accessibility, then prioritize accessibility.

Example Constraint Language

• Use "must" for non-negotiable rules and "should" for recommendations.
• Pair every do-rule with at least one concrete don't-example.
• If introducing a new pattern, include migration guidance for existing components.
