## Components

- **button:** Solid accent-colored rectangle with uppercase text.

- **chip:** N/A
- **input:** N/A
- **hero:** Large-scale, high-contrast product photography set against a pure black background.

## Do's and Don'ts

**Don't:**
- don't use bold typography — screenshot shows thin, light-weight (100-300) geometric sans-serif fonts throughout
- don't use complex gradients — screenshot shows solid, stark black backgrounds with minimal color
- don't use rounded, friendly UI shapes — screenshot shows sharp-edged, rectangular product forms and UI elements
- don't use multiple accent colors — screenshot shows a single, dominant orange (#f56b2a) as the primary accent
- don't use cluttered, busy layouts — screenshot shows generous negative space and a focus on single product shots
- don't use traditional serif typography — screenshot shows purely geometric sans-serif font categories

## System Prompt (paste into AI agent)

```
This is a minimalist, premium website for a hardware design studio. It uses a stark dark mode with a pure black background (#000000) and high-contrast white/light gray text. The typography is exclusively geometric sans-serif, used at very light weights (100-300) and often in lowercase. A single, high-chroma orange (#f56b2a) serves as the primary accent for buttons and active states. Layouts are spacious, centering on large-scale product photography. Critical don'ts: never use bold or heavy font weights, never use multiple accent colors, and never create busy or cluttered interfaces that distract from the hardware.
