# Signal Press Brutalism shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019d9bb8-47b5-75b2-8513-86d216577688`
Slug: `signal-press-brutalism`

## Intent

Signal Press Brutalism is a publication-first interface language shaped by independent magazines, photocopied zines, poster systems, and early brutalist web attitudes. It treats the screen like a production board: headlines are oversized and blunt, utility text is monospaced and annotated, images are cropped like pasted print fragments, and the grid stays visible as part of the composition rather than being hidden behind polish.

## Required primitives

- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table

Install with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.

## Token cues

Colors:

{
  "primary": "#0a0a0a",
  "secondary": "#f3efe6",
  "accent": "#ff5a1f",
  "background": "#f1ede3",
  "surface": "#fffdf8",
  "text": "#111111",
  "muted": "#5f5a52",
  "border": "#101010",
  "error": "#c92a2a",
  "success": "#18794e",
  "warning": "#d97904",
  "info": "#0b7285"
}

Typography:

{
  "heading_font": "Archivo Condensed",
  "body_font": "IBM Plex Sans",
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "base_size": "16px",
  "scale_ratio": 1.25,
  "line_height": 1.5,
  "letter_spacing": "0.01em",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Archivo+Condensed:wght@600;700&family=IBM+Plex+Sans:wght@400;500;600;700&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600&display=swap"
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Oversized condensed sans-serif headlines sit inside rigid black rule frameworks, often paired with small uppercase monospace metadata strips that read like pasted production labels.
- Cards and panels use thick 3px black borders, square corners, and offset fluorescent underlays or misregistered pseudo-elements so each block looks like an overprinted poster mounted on the page.
- Page sections expose the grid with asymmetric columns, broad gutters, vertical rule dividers, and marginal annotation rails instead of hiding structure behind seamless card masonry.
- Images appear as harsh editorial crops with grayscale or duotone treatment, grain overlays, caption bars, and surrounding crop-mark details that mimic scanned print layouts.
- Accent color is used like spot ink or marker pen in abrupt slashes, label strips, and pull-quote highlights rather than smooth background fills or ambient glows.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": true,
  "stickerBadges": false,
  "motion": "lift",
  "density": "dense",
  "accents": [
    "primary",
    "accent",
    "secondary",
    "muted"
  ]
}

## Signature component recipes

### Button
Use `Button` for primary, secondary, outline, and ghost actions. Primary actions must expose the language's strongest contrast pair, while secondary and ghost actions should preserve the surface treatment instead of falling back to default neutral SaaS styling.

### Card
Use `Card`, `CardHeader`, `CardContent`, `CardFooter`, and `CardAction` as the main composition frame. Cards should demonstrate the language's surface, border, hierarchy, and density rules rather than appearing as generic rounded rectangles.

### Input and Textarea
Use `Input` and `Textarea` with visible focus rings, field labels, validation states, and the language's rhythm. Forms should show real product content, not placeholder-only controls.

### Select, Tabs, and Table
Use `Select`, `Tabs`, and `Table` to prove navigation, filtering, and dense data states. The table should show row rhythm, separators, hover/focus states, and an empty or status state when the language calls for it.

### Dialog and Sheet
Use `Dialog` for centered decisions and `Sheet` for contextual editing. Both should inherit the language's spacing, border, overlay, and motion rules.

## Preview shots

- `application-shell`: dashboard or workspace shell with navigation, cards, forms, and state badges.
- `detail-editor`: focused editing flow using input, textarea, select, switch/checkbox, dialog or sheet, and action buttons.
- `data-operations`: table-heavy operational view with tabs, dropdown menu affordances, badges, and destructive/empty states.
- Each preview shot must include a renderable `scene` payload with concrete headline, description, actions, and rows/fields/stats for the UI preview.

## Implementation contract

- Start from local `ui/src/components/ui` shadcn-style primitives; do not create a second component system.
- Apply `/katagami/shadcn/signal-press-brutalism/registry-theme.json` variables, then use these recipes for composition and state design.
- Preserve Katagami token names as source metadata; shadcn semantic names are only the export surface.
- Do: Use condensed display typography for headlines and issue numbers, with monospaced labels for metadata, controls, and navigational wayfinding.; Keep borders heavy, corners square, and module layering visible through offset plates, rule dividers, crop marks, and caption bars.; Treat imagery as editorial material: crop aggressively, add captions, and let grain or duotone treatments reinforce the publication feel.; Design complete reading scenes with filters, subscription prompts, issue navigation, and article modules instead of isolated component catalogs.
- Do not: Do not soften the system with pill buttons, large border radii, translucent glass cards, or ambient gradient washes.; Do not rely on neutral product-dashboard composition where all blocks have equal weight and the page loses cover-line hierarchy.; Do not use polished icon packs or cute illustrations that undermine the raw print-shop and independent-publication tone.; Do not hide the grid under excessive spacing; the structure should remain visibly authored and editorial.

## Copy-paste component example

This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.

import { Tabs, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs";

export function SignalPressBrutalismShadcnKit() {

  "breakpoints": "Desktop 1440px and above, tablet 768px to 1439px, mobile 375px to 767px.",
