## Overview

Amiga Workbench visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. Chunky low-res pixel icons and blocky bitmap system font (Topaz); Tight saturated 4-8 color core palette: orange, blue, white, black

- **Category:** niche
- **Era:** 1985–1990s
- **Origin:** Commodore's AmigaOS desktop environment, shipped with the Amiga 1000 in 1985, through the A500/A1200 era into the mid-1990s.
- **Reference:** Workbench 1.3/2.0/3.1 desktop; Deluxe Paint chrome; Amiga demoscene installer screens.
- **Structural base:** grade modular responsiva

**Defining traits:**
- Chunky low-res pixel icons and blocky bitmap system font (Topaz)
- Tight saturated 4-8 color core palette: orange, blue, white, black
- Thick flat 3D-beveled window/button chrome, no gradients
- Cheerful, toy-like chunky-pixel charm

## Colors

- **bg** — #a8a8a8
- **surface** — #ffffff
- **surface-2** — #d4d4d4
- **text** — #000000
- **text-muted** — #4a4a4a
- **primary** — #0055aa
- **accent** — #ff8800
- **bevel-light** — #ffffff
- **bevel-dark** — #555555
- **titlebar** — #0055aa

## Typography

- Display: 'Topaz New', 'Press Start 2P', monospace
- Body: 'Topaz New', 'Press Start 2P', 'Courier New', monospace
- Mono: 'Topaz New', 'Courier New', monospace

## Layout

- grade modular responsiva
- Use a responsive grid and preserve content hierarchy.
- Collapse columns below 768px without horizontal overflow.

## Elevation & Depth

- Chunky low-res pixel icons and blocky bitmap system font (Topaz); Tight saturated 4-8 color core palette: orange, blue, white, black; Thick flat 3D-beveled window/button chrome, no gradients; Cheerful, toy-like chunky-pixel charm; sombras e elevação; transparência e blur

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 0px, 0px, 0px.

## Components

- Buttons keep visible focus and predictable hover/pressed states.
- Cards use the surface and radius scale from the tokens.
- Forms expose persistent labels, textual errors, and keyboard focus.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do: follow the tokens and the structural composition.
- Do: maintain WCAG AA contrast and `prefers-reduced-motion`.
- Avoid: using the style as decoration without functional hierarchy.

## Implementation Checklist

- Contraste WCAG AA; foco visível; navegação por teclado; estados hover/pressed; responsividade; prefers-reduced-motion; Tailwind v4 via @theme.

## 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.
