Voice & Don'ts
Tone Playful, experimental, and confident. Headlines Extremely large, tight-tracking, and bold. CTAs Straightforward, often underlined or bordered. Don't use soft, rounded corners — screenshot shows sharp 2px borders. Don't use subtle pastel backgrounds — screenshot shows a vivid #B7FFB4 green. Don't use a standard sans-serif for everything — screenshot shows a distinct transitional serif for headlines. Don't hide the type — screenshot shows typography as the primary visual element. Don't use complex drop shadows — screenshot shows flat, high-contrast surfaces. Don't use small font sizes for emphasis — screenshot shows oversized display text. Avoid: Overly corporate language Avoid: Complex gradients Avoid: Standard corporate layouts

System prompt
NaN is a bold, type-driven design practice with a raw, experimental aesthetic. The core palette features a vibrant neon green (#B7FFB4) background contrasted with dark charcoal (#262626) text. Typography is the hero, using a transitional serif for massive display headlines and a geometric sans/mono for UI. Critical donts: do not use soft or corporate visuals, avoid small type sizes for emphasis, and never hide the typographic personality behind standard templates. This system supports expressive, unconventional layouts where type is the primary visual tool.
