System prompt

MoMA.org is the digital home of the Museum of Modern Art, utilizing a minimal, authoritative, and photography-led editorial design. The palette is strictly high-contrast, utilizing a primary white background (#FFFFFF) and deep black text (#000000), with a single bright cyan-blue accent (#00B7F2) for ticketing. Typography is set in a custom grotesque-sans font family, featuring heavy weight, large display headlines with tight negative letter-spacing (-1.2px for display). The layout is a clean, unadorned 12-column grid with sharp edges, zero border-radius, and an absence of drop shadows, creating a gallery-like atmosphere. Key critical donts: Do not use rounded corners on any elements. Do not use decorative or serif fonts for headings. Do not use drop shadows or complex gradients. Ensure all large typography uses negative letter-spacing for an institutional feel.
