## Overview

Design an Airbnb-inspired warm marketplace landing page. Ideal for marketplaces, viagens, plataformas de hospedagem, e-commerce experiencial. AI-ready template. Airbnb's design system didn't emerge from a rebrand exercise or a design trends mood board. It came from operational pain. By 2016, the product had grown into a sprawling mess of inconsistent patterns across web, iOS, and Android — different teams shipping different interpretations of the same components. The DLS (Design Language System) was their first serious attempt at unification, but Coral represents the maturation of that thinking into something far more ambitious.

Coral is fundamentally a marketplace design system, which means it has to solve problems most design systems never face: trust between strangers, complex multi-party flows, and the tension between host and guest experiences that share the same interface. The system had to encode hospitality — warmth, approachability, clarity — without sacrificing the transactional efficiency a booking platform demands.

What makes Coral genuinely interesting is how it treats illustration, photography, and motion as first-class citizens rather than decorative afterthoughts. The rounded forms, the Cereal typeface, the deliberate softness — these aren't aesthetic choices, they're trust-building mechanisms. Every visual decision serves the goal of making strangers comfortable enough to sleep in each other's homes.

Radius generoso: 8px botões, 14px badges, 20px cards, 32px large, 50% circular. Controles circulares (50%) para carrosséis. Fotografia como conteúdo primário. Letter-spacing negativo (-0.18px a -0.44px) em headings para intimidade.
