- **Category:** texture
- **Era:** 2021–present
- **Origin:** Adding grain to smooth gradients for depth.
- **Reference:** Vercel/Linear backgrounds; A24-style sites.
- **Structural base:** composição editorial com grade tipográfica

**Defining traits:**
- Smooth color gradient overlaid with fine grain
- Reduces banding, adds tactility
- Soft dreamy color fields
- Premium editorial feel

## Layout

- composição editorial com grade tipográfica
- Use a responsive grid and preserve content hierarchy.
- Collapse columns below 768px without horizontal overflow.

## Elevation & Depth

- Smooth color gradient overlaid with fine grain; Reduces banding, adds tactility; Soft dreamy color fields; Premium editorial feel; sombras e elevação

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 8px, 14px, 22px.

## 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.
