Cartazista de Supermercado

Historical Context

Walk into any Brazilian supermarket — not the polished chains, the real ones — and you'll find them. Cartaz after cartaz, hand-painted price signs screaming offers in fluorescent tempera on cardboard. The cartazista is the person behind them. No formal training. No grid system. Just muscle memory, a brush, and an intuitive understanding of hierarchy that most design school graduates struggle to articulate. For decades, this was invisible labor. Background noise. Then sometime in the 2010s, Brazilian designers started paying attention. Exhibitions happened. Instagram accounts archived the work. Typographers like Crystian Cruz began documenting letterforms that had evolved entirely outside academic tradition — condensed, high-contrast, built for speed and legibility at distance. The cartazista wasn't copying type design. They'd invented their own, in parallel, optimized for a completely different set of constraints: cost, speed, and the chaos of a retail floor. What makes cartazista work resonate now is precisely its refusal to be polished. In an era of Canva templates and corporate sanitization, these signs carry an authenticity that cannot be faked. They smell like a real place. They belong to a specific economy — popular commerce, informal markets, the Brazil that actually feeds people. That roughness isn't a bug. It's the entire point.

When to Use

When a project needs to feel grounded in real commerce rather than aspirational branding. Works for popular retail, local business identity, food markets, price-forward communication, and any context where polish would read as dishonest. Particularly effective when you want to signal accessibility, affordability, and community roots — the opposite of premium minimalism. Also useful as a counterweight in projects that risk feeling too corporate or too global.

Design Principles

  • Speed over precision — letterforms are built for rapid execution, not optical perfection. Embrace the wobble.
  • Hierarchy through scale and color, never through subtlety. The biggest number wins. Fluorescent demands attention before you've decided to look.
  • Material honesty — cardboard, tempera, marker. The substrate is part of the message. Don't simulate luxury materials.
  • Condensed proportions by necessity — vertical space is cheap, horizontal space costs money. Letters stack tall and narrow.
  • Anti-consistency as system — no two signs are identical even from the same hand. Variation is the signature, not the flaw.

## 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.
