Astryx Gothic

Historical Context

Astryx Gothic is the only dark-only theme in the system. Its deep blue-gray palette and distressed type create an atmospheric, editorial mood for products that reject conventional light-mode design.

When to Use

Apply to projects that exist exclusively in the dark and need dense atmosphere. Games, dark entertainment, alternative creative portfolios, music apps, and horror sites demand deep dark-blue surfaces that create immersion. Distressed typography breaks typical UI cleanliness and delivers raw identity. Choose this theme when the audience seeks emotional intensity and light mode simply makes no sense for the brand.

Design Principles

  • Use dark mode only — no light variant exists in this theme
  • Limit distressed typography to impact headlines; functional text stays clean
  • Build hierarchy with opacity variations over dark blue, not with new colors
  • Reserve light accents for critical interactive elements and feedback
  • Maintain minimum WCAG AA contrast even on deep dark surfaces

## 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.
