## Overview

Minimalism visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. Extreme restraint: whitespace, few elements; Limited (often monochrome) palette

- **Category:** minimal-organic
- **Era:** 1960s art → 2000s digital
- **Origin:** Roots in minimal art (Donald Judd) + Dieter Rams; digital via Apple/Google.
- **Reference:** Apple product pages; Dieter Rams Braun; Google homepage.
- **Structural base:** composição editorial com grade tipográfica

**Defining traits:**
- Extreme restraint: whitespace, few elements
- Limited (often monochrome) palette
- Strong typographic hierarchy carries design
- Every element earns its place

## Colors

- **bg** — #ffffff
- **surface** — #ffffff
- **surface-2** — #fafafa
- **text** — #111111
- **text-muted** — #767676
- **primary** — #111111
- **accent** — #111111
- **border** — #e6e6e6

## Typography

- Display: 'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif
- Body: 'Inter', 'Helvetica Neue', system-ui, sans-serif
- Mono: ui-monospace, monospace

## Layout

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

## Elevation & Depth

- Extreme restraint: whitespace, few elements; Limited (often monochrome) palette; Strong typographic hierarchy carries design; Every element earns its place; sombras e elevação; transparência e blur

## 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.
