- **Category:** retrofuturism
- **Era:** 2013–present
- **Origin:** Darker, harder subgenre of synthwave.
- **Reference:** Perturbator; Carpenter Brut visuals.
- **Structural base:** hero, superfície, conteúdo e grade responsiva

**Defining traits:**
- Aggressive neon on black, horror tones
- Red/purple/cyan, chrome skulls
- Cinematic, ominous
- VHS grain and glow

## Colors

- **bg** — #0a0014

- Body: 'Rajdhani', 'Barlow Condensed', system-ui, sans-serif
- Mono: 'Share Tech Mono', ui-monospace, monospace

## Layout

- hero, superfície, conteúdo e grade responsiva
- Use a responsive grid and preserve content hierarchy.
- Collapse columns below 768px without horizontal overflow.

## Elevation & Depth

- Aggressive neon on black, horror tones; Red/purple/cyan, chrome skulls; Cinematic, ominous; VHS grain and glow; sombras e elevação

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 2px, 4px, 8px.

## 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.
