rules
Build pages as magazine spreads rather than app screens: one dominant poster hero, stacked story bands, pull-quote interruptions, and interleaved illustration panels. Prefer asymmetry, large blocks of color, and obvious editorial pacing.
Use oversized all-caps display headlines, compact monospace labels, and calmer serif body copy. Hierarchy comes from scale jumps, ink block contrast, and deliberate misregistered shadow layers.
Medium density with spacious margins around hero content and tighter stacked details in article cards. Keep modules bold and few rather than many small utilities.
layout
A 12-column editorial grid on desktop, collapsing to 8 columns on tablet and 4 columns on mobile, with asymmetric hero spans and staggered secondary modules.
mobile: 0-767px, tablet: 768-1099px, desktop: 1100px+
Use generous outer margins, poster-like vertical spacing between story bands, and compressed internal spacing inside labels and metadata strips.
guidance
- limit each screen to two dominant inks plus paper
- let texture visibly sit on top of otherwise simple geometry
- use illustrations and silhouettes as structural anchors
- embrace tiny misalignments that suggest physical print layers
- compose scenes that feel like covers, spreads, or feature packages
- introduce glossy UI chrome or translucent glass cards
- use more than a few accent hues at once
- smooth away grain, fibers, and print irregularity
- fill layouts with generic component-library patterns
- replace bold editorial scale with tiny balanced interfaces

# Risograph Spot-Color Editorial
## Overview
A web editorial language that translates risograph print logic into interface form: limited spot-color layers, visible grain, poster-scale composition, and intentionally imperfect registration used as personality rather than error. It feels like an illustrated weekend magazine assembled from bold cut-paper shapes and overprinted inks.
### Values
- limited palettes over full-spectrum color abundance
- analog warmth over sterile pixel perfection
- graphic storytelling over widget catalogs
- deliberate texture and print artifacts as identity
- bold hierarchy through scale, silhouette, and overprint contrast
### Anti-Values
- glassmorphism and luminous chrome
- hyper-real gradients and polished 3D depth
- tiny fussy detail work
- generic SaaS dashboards
- perfectly aligned frictionless minimalism
### Visual Character
- two- or three-ink spot-color palette on warm paper background
- full-page grain and paper-fiber texture overlays across large surfaces
- slight offset registration shadows where color layers intentionally misalign by a few pixels
- flat silhouette illustrations built from simple geometric cutout shapes
- poster-like hero compositions with oversized headlines and asymmetric editorial blocks
## Colors
Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.
| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| primary | `#ff5fa2` |
| secondary | `#2f6bff` |
| accent | `#ff4438` |
| background | `#f6eddc` |
| surface | `#f3e7d1` |
| text | `#1f1a17` |
| muted | `#6f655e` |
| border | `#1f1a17` |
| error | `#d5442f` |
| success | `#2f8b57` |
| warning | `#c78a16` |
| info | `#2f6bff` |

### Grid
A 12-column editorial grid on desktop, collapsing to 8 columns on tablet and 4 columns on mobile, with asymmetric hero spans and staggered secondary modules.
### Breakpoints
mobile: 0-767px, tablet: 768-1099px, desktop: 1100px+
### Whitespace
Use generous outer margins, poster-like vertical spacing between story bands, and compressed internal spacing inside labels and metadata strips.
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Sm**: 0 2px 0 rgba(31,26,23,0.12)
- **Md**: 0 6px 0 rgba(31,26,23,0.14)
- **Lg**: 0 10px 0 rgba(31,26,23,0.16)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `6px`
- **Md**: `14px`
- **Lg**: `24px`
- **Full**: `9999px`
### Surfaces
- **Treatment**: paper
- **Card Style**: warm paper panels with screenprint texture and occasional spot-color flood areas
- **Bg Pattern**: noise
### Borders
- **Default Width**: 2px
- **Accent Width**: 4px
- **Style**: solid
- **Character**: inked editorial rules and poster-edge frames that feel hand-pressed rather than digitally sharp
## Components
### Composition
Build pages as magazine spreads rather than app screens: one dominant poster hero, stacked story bands, pull-quote interruptions, and interleaved illustration panels. Prefer asymmetry, large blocks of color, and obvious editorial pacing.
### Hierarchy
Use oversized all-caps display headlines, compact monospace labels, and calmer serif body copy. Hierarchy comes from scale jumps, ink block contrast, and deliberate misregistered shadow layers.
### Density
Medium density with spacious margins around hero content and tighter stacked details in article cards. Keep modules bold and few rather than many small utilities.
### Signature Patterns
- headlines use a duplicated offset ink layer behind the main text to simulate slight registration drift
- major panels include noise or halftone grain overlays using pseudo-elements
- illustration blocks are composed from flat silhouette shapes with no internal shading
- section frames and dividers use thick poster-rule borders and taped label chips
- feature cards alternate full spot-color floods with paper panels to mimic printed spreads
## shadcn/ui Usage
When the target app uses shadcn/ui, copy DESIGN.md with shadcn instead of the plain DESIGN.md. It contains the same Katagami design-language source plus the shadcn/ui primitives, imports, theme variables, component recipes, and preview-shot guidance.
DESIGN.md with shadcn: `/language/en-019d9bb8-e29c-76a1-ac9e-75f1f68ddc66/DESIGN.with-shadcn.md`.
The shadcn page also exposes optional machine-readable files for automation, but the human-facing handoff is DESIGN.md with shadcn.
Install recommended primitives with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.
Use these primitives in shadcn apps:
- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table
Implementation rule for agents: import shadcn primitives from `@/components/ui/*`, apply the generated CSS variables first, then compose the language-specific recipes from the companion MD. Katagami remains the source of truth; shadcn names are the implementation surface.
## Do's and Don'ts
- Do limit each screen to two dominant inks plus paper
- Do let texture visibly sit on top of otherwise simple geometry
- Do use illustrations and silhouettes as structural anchors
- Do embrace tiny misalignments that suggest physical print layers
- Do compose scenes that feel like covers, spreads, or feature packages
- Don't introduce glossy UI chrome or translucent glass cards
- Don't use more than a few accent hues at once
- Don't smooth away grain, fibers, and print irregularity
- Don't fill layouts with generic component-library patterns
- Don't replace bold editorial scale with tiny balanced interfaces

# Risograph Spot-Color Editorial shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019d9bb8-e29c-76a1-ac9e-75f1f68ddc66`
Slug: `risograph-spot-color-editorial`
## Intent
A web editorial language that translates risograph print logic into interface form: limited spot-color layers, visible grain, poster-scale composition, and intentionally imperfect registration used as personality rather than error. It feels like an illustrated weekend magazine assembled from bold cut-paper shapes and overprinted inks.
## 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`.

}
## Visual character to preserve
- two- or three-ink spot-color palette on warm paper background
- full-page grain and paper-fiber texture overlays across large surfaces
- slight offset registration shadows where color layers intentionally misalign by a few pixels
- flat silhouette illustrations built from simple geometric cutout shapes
- poster-like hero compositions with oversized headlines and asymmetric editorial blocks
## ShadSync visual profile

"family": "paper-collage",
"material": "paper",

}
## 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/risograph-spot-color-editorial/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: limit each screen to two dominant inks plus paper; let texture visibly sit on top of otherwise simple geometry; use illustrations and silhouettes as structural anchors; embrace tiny misalignments that suggest physical print layers; compose scenes that feel like covers, spreads, or feature packages
- Do not: introduce glossy UI chrome or translucent glass cards; use more than a few accent hues at once; smooth away grain, fibers, and print irregularity; fill layouts with generic component-library patterns; replace bold editorial scale with tiny balanced interfaces
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
```tsx
import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/badge";
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import {
Card,
CardContent,
CardDescription,
CardFooter,
CardHeader,
CardTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/card";
import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input";
import { Tabs, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs";
export function RisographSpotColorEditorialShadcnKit() {
return (
<section className="grid gap-4 rounded-[var(--radius)] border bg-background p-4 text-foreground">
<div className="flex items-start justify-between gap-4">

<h2 className="mt-3 text-2xl font-semibold tracking-tight">Risograph Spot-Color Editorial</h2>

Use the Katagami registry theme, then compose these shadcn primitives
