## Overview

Tidalpunk visual system, translated from the Claude Artisan catalog for use in digital products. Ocean tech: wave/tidal energy, kelp, coral; Blues, teals, salvaged materials

- **Category:** retrofuturism
- **Era:** 2019–present
- **Origin:** Ocean-focused optimistic offshoot of solarpunk.
- **Reference:** Tidalpunk art community.
- **Structural base:** superfície material com conteúdo em camadas

**Defining traits:**
- Ocean tech: wave/tidal energy, kelp, coral
- Blues, teals, salvaged materials
- Sustainable seafaring future
- Hopeful, aquatic, resourceful

## Colors

- **bg** — #0a3d3f

- Body: 'Space Grotesk', 'Inter', 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

- Ocean tech: wave/tidal energy, kelp, coral; Blues, teals, salvaged materials; Sustainable seafaring future; Hopeful, aquatic, resourceful; sombras e elevação

## Shapes

- Radius scale: 8px, 14px, 22px.

## 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.
