# Neubrutalist Black-and-White Interfaces shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019da327-3208-72a1-9bbf-e2756d826dd9`
Slug: `neubrutalist-black-white-interfaces`

## Intent

A loud monochrome interface language that turns every screen into a posterized workstation: paper-white fields, dense black outlines, oversized grotesk headlines, and playful accent blocks used like marker strokes rather than gentle decoration.

## 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": "#111111",
  "secondary": "#F5F1E8",
  "accent": "#D8FF36",
  "background": "#FCFAF5",
  "surface": "#FFFFFF",
  "text": "#111111",
  "muted": "#6A6862",
  "border": "#111111",
  "error": "#FF5A36",
  "success": "#1F9D55",
  "warning": "#FF8A00",
  "info": "#111111"
}

Typography:

{
  "heading_font": "Archivo Black",
  "body_font": "Space Grotesk",
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "base_size": "16px",
  "scale_ratio": 1.25,
  "line_height": 1.5,
  "letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Archivo+Black&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600&family=Space+Grotesk:wght@400;500;700&display=swap"
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Every major container uses thick 3px to 5px black borders with hard rectangular corners and exaggerated offset drop shadows that look screen-printed rather than photoreal.
- Hero headlines are set in an ultra-bold grotesk uppercase style, tightly packed and oversized, while labels and metadata use compact monospace tags in bordered capsules.
- Accent color appears only in blunt rectangular blocks, underlines, badges, and sticky-note panels so the white-and-black foundation remains dominant and the color feels like a loud interruption.
- Cards, buttons, filters, and data modules use visibly stacked layers with slight rotation, translation, or shadow offsets to create a cut-paper collage feeling without using skeuomorphic textures.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": true,
  "stickerBadges": true,
  "motion": "still",
  "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/neubrutalist-black-white-interfaces/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 black outlines and offset shadows on all primary structural elements.; Keep the palette mostly monochrome, then deploy accent color in short, loud blocks.; Mix oversized display typography with compact monospace labels to emphasize contrast.; Let modules overlap visually through offsets, rotated backing plates, and stacked borders.
- Do not: Do not round corners or soften borders into generic SaaS cards.; Do not use gradients, glass, blur, or low-contrast gray-on-gray surfaces.; Do not let accent colors dominate the whole canvas; they should puncture the composition.; Do not hide form controls in minimal chrome or browser defaults.

## Copy-paste component example

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

## Layout notes

{
  "grid": "Use a bold editorial dashboard grid: wide main workspace columns with narrower side stacks, strong gutters, and internal card grids that collapse from 3 columns to 2 to 1.",
  "breakpoints": "Desktop at 1440px supports multi-column board layout; tablet at 768px reduces to stacked main and side regions; mobile at 375px becomes a single vertical flow with full-width controls.",
  "whitespace": "Whitespace is deliberate but not luxurious: keep tight internal padding, roomy external gaps between modules, and preserve breathing room around giant headlines so the composition still reads."
