## Overview

Editorial Tri-Tone — Three-color editorial system: dusty pink, mustard cream, and deep burgundy, set in Bricolage + Instrument Serif. Bricolage Grotesque typography. dusty pink, mustard cream, and deep burgundy used as full-bleed color blocks. Best for editorial / magazine pitch, fashion brand deck, lifestyle media. AI-ready design system. The tri-tone palette isn't new — it's a deliberate rejection of the maximalist color explosions that dominated digital design through the 2010s. Its roots sit squarely in mid-century European fashion publishing, where art directors at magazines like Nova and Jardin des Modes understood that restraint creates desire. Three colors. That's it. The constraint forces hierarchy.

Dusty pink entered the design lexicon through 1970s Italian interior photography — think Gio Ponti's later work, those faded terracotta walls in Milan apartments shot on expired Kodachrome. Mustard cream arrived via post-war British typography, the yellowed stock of Penguin paperbacks and Festival of Britain ephemera. Together with a grounding neutral, these three tones create what I'd call 'warm editorial tension' — sophisticated enough for luxury, approachable enough for lifestyle.

The current revival owes everything to independent fashion magazines like Apartamento and Kinfolk's early issues, which proved you could build an entire visual identity on tonal restraint rather than chromatic noise.

## 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.
