- **Origin:** Retroactively named (after Frutiger typeface + Windows Aero); nature-meets-tech optimism.
- **Reference:** Windows Vista/7; Wii/iOS-era wallpapers; Windows XP 'Bliss'.
- **Structural base:** grade modular responsiva

**Defining traits:**
- Glossy skeuomorphic bubbles and glass
- Nature imagery: water, bubbles, grass, blue skies
- Aqua gradients, lens flares, clean tech
- Humanist Frutiger/Myriad type, auto-glow

- Mono: ui-monospace, monospace

## Layout

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

## Elevation & Depth

- Glossy skeuomorphic bubbles and glass; Nature imagery: water, bubbles, grass, blue skies; Aqua gradients, lens flares, clean tech; Humanist Frutiger/Myriad type, auto-glow; sombras e elevação; transparência e blur

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 8px, 16px, 24px.

## 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.
