## Overview

Chalkboard hand-drawn interface. Ideal for landing pages, saas. AI-ready template. The chalkboard aesthetic didn't start on Pinterest. It started in pubs, in classrooms, on the sidewalk signs of bakeries that couldn't afford printed menus. Hand-drawn lettering carried information before typography was democratized — and it carried personality with it. Every wobbly serif, every smudged edge said: a human was here.

Digital design rediscovered this in the early 2010s. Suddenly every coffee shop website needed a blackboard texture and some faux-chalk script. Most of it was terrible — slapping a grunge overlay on Lobster font isn't craft, it's costume. But the good stuff understood something deeper: imperfection is a trust signal. When everything around you is pixel-perfect and suspiciously polished, a hand-drawn line feels like eye contact.

Now, in a landscape flooded with AI-generated imagery, the chalkboard style hits differently. It's a deliberate rejection of frictionless production. The eraser smudges, the uneven baselines, the dust — they say this wasn't generated in three seconds. Whether that's true or not, the feeling lands. Warmth through visible effort.

- Small: 0.875rem


## Layout

- **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:** Asymmetric composition.
- **Feature sections:** Asymmetric grid with varied card sizes. 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).


## Elevation & Depth

Flat classroom lighting, chalk drawing animations (stroke-dasharray), eraser wipe transitions, hand-drawn wobble, sketch reveal on scroll

- **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.


## Shapes

Base corner radius: 8px. See rounded tokens in front matter for the full scale.


## Components

- **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.


## Do's and Don'ts

- No emojis in UI — use icon system only (Lucide, Heroicons)
- No pure black (#000000) — use off-black or charcoal variants
- 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

- Do Chalkboard background
- Do Chalk text effect
- Do Hand-drawn elements
- Do Eraser smudges subtle
- Do Educational feel
- Do Sketch icons present

- Landing Page Theme: <INSERT THEME>
- Sections to add: <INSERT SECTIONS>

Generate the final code immediately following these definitions:

## Color Palette

- **Primary:** Dark Green Board #2D5016, Chalk White #FFFFFF, Chalk Yellow #FFFF00
- **Secondary:** Chalk Red #FF6B6B, Chalk Teal #4ECDC4, dusty chalk texture, smudge effects

## Visual Effects

Flat classroom lighting, chalk drawing animations (stroke-dasharray), eraser wipe transitions, hand-drawn wobble, sketch reveal on scroll

## AI Visual Direction

Design a chalkboard hand-drawn interface. Use: dark green background (#2D5016), chalk-white text, hand-drawn diagrams, chalk texture effects, eraser smudges, hand-lettered typography, sketch-style icons, classroom aesthetic, informal educational feel.

## CSS Technical

```css
background: #2D5016 with chalk dust texture, color: #FFFFFF, font-family: hand-drawn/chalk style, border: hand-drawn SVG paths, stroke-dasharray animation for drawing effect, filter: url(chalk-texture)
```

## Design System Variables

```css
--board-green: #2D5016, --chalk-white: #FFFFFF, --chalk-yellow: #FFFF00, --chalk-red: #FF6B6B, --chalk-teal: #4ECDC4, --dust-opacity: 0.1
```

## Implementation Checklist

- ☐ Chalkboard background
- ☐ Chalk text effect
- ☐ Hand-drawn elements
- ☐ Eraser smudges subtle
- ☐ Educational feel
- ☐ Sketch icons present

## 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.
