## Overview

Silkpunk visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. Bamboo, silk, paper, lacquer materials; Organic bio-mechanics (airships, kites)

- **Category:** retrofuturism
- **Era:** 2015–present
- **Origin:** Coined by Ken Liu; East-Asian-inspired bio/mechanical tech.
- **Reference:** Ken Liu 'The Grace of Kings'.
- **Structural base:** superfície material com conteúdo em camadas

**Defining traits:**
- Bamboo, silk, paper, lacquer materials
- Organic bio-mechanics (airships, kites)
- Classical Chinese/Asian motifs
- Elegant, flowing, nature-integrated tech

## Colors

- **bg** — #f3ead9

## Layout

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

## Elevation & Depth

- Bamboo, silk, paper, lacquer materials; Organic bio-mechanics (airships, kites); Classical Chinese/Asian motifs; Elegant, flowing, nature-integrated tech; sombras e elevação

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 4px, 14px, 32px 8px 32px 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.
