## Overview

Scandinavian / Nordic visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. Warm minimalism: light woods, soft neutrals; Functional, cozy (hygge), uncluttered

- **Category:** minimal-organic
- **Era:** 1930s–present
- **Origin:** Nordic modernism (Alvar Aalto, Arne Jacobsen).
- **Reference:** IKEA; Muuto; HAY.
- **Structural base:** superfície material com conteúdo em camadas

**Defining traits:**
- Warm minimalism: light woods, soft neutrals
- Functional, cozy (hygge), uncluttered
- Natural materials and muted accents
- Human-centered simplicity

## Colors

- **bg** — #f7f4ef
- **surface** — #ffffff
- **surface-2** — #efe9e1
- **text** — #2b2b2b
- **text-muted** — #6f6a63
- **primary** — #3a5a40
- **accent** — #c98a6a
- **sky** — #a8c5d6
- **wood** — #d8b8a0

## Typography

- Display: 'Fraunces', 'Poppins', serif
- Body: 'Poppins', 'Work Sans', system-ui, sans-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

- Warm minimalism: light woods, soft neutrals; Functional, cozy (hygge), uncluttered; Natural materials and muted accents; Human-centered simplicity; sombras e elevação; transparência e blur

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 6px, 12px, 20px.

## 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.
