## Overview

Mesh Gradient visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. Multi-point smooth gradients that blend many hues; Organic, cloud-like color transitions

- **Category:** morphism
- **Era:** 2021–present
- **Origin:** Popularized by design tools (Mesh Gradient generators, Figma plugins).
- **Reference:** Stripe backgrounds; Apple event key art.
- **Structural base:** shell de aplicação com navegação e cartões

**Defining traits:**
- Multi-point smooth gradients that blend many hues
- Organic, cloud-like color transitions
- Used as hero backgrounds
- Often animated/shifting

## Colors

- **bg** — #0b0b16
- **surface** — rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.06)
- **surface-strong** — rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.11)
- **border** — rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.14)

- **mesh-a** — #4f46e5
- **mesh-b** — #06b6d4
- **mesh-c** — #f472b6
- **mesh-d** — #fbbf24

## Typography

- Display: 'Cabinet Grotesk', 'Inter', sans-serif
- Body: 'Inter', system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif
- Mono: 'JetBrains Mono', ui-monospace, monospace

## Layout

- shell de aplicação com navegação e cartões
- Use a responsive grid and preserve content hierarchy.
- Collapse columns below 768px without horizontal overflow.

## Elevation & Depth

- Multi-point smooth gradients that blend many hues; Organic, cloud-like color transitions; Used as hero backgrounds; Often animated/shifting; sombras e elevação

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 10px, 16px, 26px.

## 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.
