## Overview

Sakura Chroma — Vintage Japanese cassette-package aesthetic: cream paper, diagonal rainbow ribbons, condensed bold type, JIS-style spec checkboxes. Big Shoulders Display typography. warm cream paper canvas with dark warm-brown ink and a six-colour primary palett. Best for product launch or catalogue, indie hardware or analog studio brand, music label or release schedule. AI-ready design system. The Japanese cassette tape wasn't just a medium — it was a canvas. Throughout the 1980s and early 90s, independent labels in Tokyo and Osaka turned tape packaging into miniature graphic design exhibitions. Rainbow-spectrum gradients, holographic foils, and condensed sans-serifs crammed onto J-cards created a visual language that screamed maximalism before the word entered design discourse. These weren't accidents of taste; they were deliberate acts of rebellion against the sterile minimalism already creeping into corporate Japan.

Barlow Condensed lives in that same tension — industrial bones dressed in pop clothing. It's a typeface that wants to be loud without shouting, dense without suffocating. Pair it with chromatic ribbon motifs and you get something that feels like finding a pristine City Pop cassette in a Shimokitazawa record shop. The nostalgia is real, but the energy is forward-facing.

Sakura Chroma takes this lineage seriously. It doesn't cosplay as retro — it understands why those designers made those choices and translates the intent, not just the aesthetic, into a system that works on screens.

## Implementation Checklist

- ☐ Big Shoulders Display display font loaded via Google Fonts

## 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.
