## Overview

Design an ethereal landing page with extremely soft, delicate tones. Ideal for lookbooks de alta-costura, arte conceitual, designs refinados, portfólios artísticos. AI-ready template. Ethereal as a visual language owes everything to the Symbolist painters — Odilon Redon, Gustave Moreau — who rejected realism in favor of suggestion. They understood that what you almost see is more powerful than what you fully render. The technique migrated into Art Nouveau illustration, where Alphonse Mucha layered translucent washes behind his figures, creating depth without weight.

In the twentieth century, ethereal found its commercial footing through perfume advertising and fashion illustration. René Gruau's ink-and-wash work for Dior proved that luxury didn't need to shout — it could whisper through negative space and bleeding color. The Japanese concept of 'yūgen' (profound grace) runs parallel here: beauty implied rather than stated.

Today's ethereal illustration draws from all of this but adds digital layering — multiply blends, grain textures at 3-5% opacity, color that feels like it was breathed onto the canvas rather than applied. It's maximally restrained. Every element earns its presence through absence of everything else.

## Layout

- **Grid:** CSS Grid primary. Max-width containment: 1280px centered with 1.5rem side padding.

- **Feature sections:** Zig-zag alternating text+image rows. 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

Very subtle opacity layers (0.3-0.6), soft gaussian blur backgrounds (5-10px), delicate thin borders (0.5px), gentle fade-in animations (800ms), light text shadows, feathered edges

- **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: 12px. See rounded tokens in front matter for the full scale.


## Components

- **Primary Button:** Moderately rounded (0.75rem) 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:** Moderately rounded (0.75rem) 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 Ultra-soft color palette
- Do Translucent layered elements
- Do Thin elegant typography (weight 300)
- Do Gentle fade-in animations
- Do Dreamlike atmosphere maintained
- Do Responsive with preserved delicacy

## Implementation Checklist

- ☐ Ultra-soft color palette
- ☐ Translucent layered elements
- ☐ Thin elegant typography (weight 300)
- ☐ Gentle fade-in animations
- ☐ Dreamlike atmosphere maintained
- ☐ Responsive with preserved delicacy

## 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.
