## 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

- 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.
