## Overview

Neoclassicism visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. Strict symmetric composition, centered layouts; Column/pediment motifs used as structural framing, not decoration

- **Category:** historical
- **Era:** 1760s–1830s
- **Origin:** 18th-century European revival of Greco-Roman art and architecture, prompted by the excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum — a reaction against Baroque/Rococo excess.
- **Reference:** The Panthéon, Paris; Jacques-Louis David's history paintings; Wedgwood's Jasperware relief medallions.
- **Structural base:** superfície material com conteúdo em camadas

**Defining traits:**
- Strict symmetric composition, centered layouts
- Column/pediment motifs used as structural framing, not decoration
- Cream/marble-white surfaces with muted gold and deep ink accents; serif type evoking carved stone

## Colors

- **bg** — #f2ede0
- **surface** — #faf7ef
- **surface-2** — #e3dbc7
- **text** — #1f2733
- **text-muted** — #5a5850
- **primary** — #8a6d3b
- **accent** — #2f3b52
- **marble-vein** — #c9c0a8
- **ink** — #14181f

## Typography

- Display: Cinzel, Trajan Pro, serif
- Body: Trajan Pro, Cinzel, Georgia, serif
- Mono: ui-monospace, monospace

## Layout

- superfície material com conteúdo em camadas
- Use a responsive grid and preserve content hierarchy.
- Collapse columns below 768px without horizontal overflow.

## Elevation & Depth

- Strict symmetric composition, centered layouts; Column/pediment motifs used as structural framing, not decoration; Cream/marble-white surfaces with muted gold and deep ink accents; serif type evoking carved stone; sombras e elevação; transparência e blur

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 0px, 2px, 4px.

## 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.
