Ideal for landing pages, modern websites. AI-ready template. Cyberpunk as a visual language didn't start with Blade Runner, but that's where it learned to breathe. The rain-slicked neons of Ridley Scott's Los Angeles gave designers permission to treat darkness not as absence but as canvas. By the late 2010s, dark mode had gone mainstream — iOS, Android, every SaaS tool scrambling to flip their whites to near-blacks. But cyberpunk dark mode is something else entirely. It's not about reducing eye strain. It's about building atmosphere. The lineage runs through Tron's light cycles, Ghost in the Shell's data overlays, and the terminal aesthetics of early hacker culture. What changed is fidelity. Modern displays render deep blacks and saturated neons with zero compromise. Designers working in crypto dashboards and dev tools noticed: when your interface already lives in a terminal-adjacent world, why fight it? Lean into the glow. Let data streams pulse like arterial flow through a circuit board. This isn't nostalgia cosplay. It's a functional acknowledgment that dense information environments benefit from high-contrast luminous hierarchies against void-dark backgrounds. The cyberpunk frame just happens to make it feel alive. - Density: 5/10 — Balanced - Variance: 8/10 — Expressive - Motion: 4/10 — Subtle - **Style:** Futuristic, Analytical, Sophisticated - **Keywords:** cyberpunk, dark mode, flow, neon, circuit, glow, tech, sleek - **Era:** Sleek Future - **Light/Dark:** ✗ No / ✓ Full ## Colors - **Background** (#080a12) — Primary background surface - **Text** (#ffffff) — Primary text color - **Accent** (#00c4fa) — Primary accent, CTAs and interactive elements - **Dark Grey** (#1a1d26) — Deep contrast surface - **Neon Green** (#00ff9d) — Success states, positive indicators - **Soft Purple** (#bd00ff) — Accent color, emphasis elements ## Typography - **Display / Hero:** Sora — Weight 700, tight tracking, used for headline impact - **Body:** Sora — Weight 400, 16px/1.6 line-height, max 72ch per line - **UI Labels / Captions:** Sora — 0.875rem, weight 500, slight letter-spacing - **Monospace:** JetBrains Mono — Used for code, metadata, and technical values Scale: - Hero: clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem) - H1: 2.25rem - H2: 1.5rem - Body: 1rem / 1.6 - Small: 0.875rem ## Layout - **Grid:** CSS Grid primary.
