## Overview

Brazilian cordel literature style landing page. Ideal for landing pages culturais, projetos nordestinos, sites artísticos. AI-ready template. Literatura de cordel is Brazil's chapbook tradition — small pamphlets sold hanging from strings (cordéis) at open-air markets across the Northeast since the late 1800s. The stories range from epic bandit tales to political satire, always printed cheap, always passed hand to hand. What makes them visually unforgettable is the xilogravura: woodcut illustrations carved into blocks with pocket knives, printed in stark black ink on rough paper. No gradients. No half-measures. Every line is a commitment.

The woodcut aesthetic carries an inherent boldness that translates remarkably well to screens. High contrast, decisive marks, flattened perspective — these aren't limitations, they're a graphic language refined over a century of constraints. The carvers worked fast and small, which forced an economy of form that feels almost modernist in retrospect.

Digitally, cordel woodcuts offer something rare: immediate cultural specificity without decorative excess. The style reads at any size. It carries narrative weight. It refuses to be mistaken for generic illustration. When you bring xilogravura into digital design, you're not borrowing an aesthetic — you're channeling a living tradition that still sells millions of pamphlets annually in Brazilian street markets.

## Implementation Checklist

- ☐ Xilogravura como elementos visuais
- ☐ Tipografia serifada de cordel
- ☐ Layout de livreto

- ☐ Textura de papel envelhecido
- ☐ Divisores xilográficos.

## 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.
