summary
Sorbet Spark Minimal Commerce Cards is an image-led commerce language for youthful discovery experiences that need to feel dew-fresh, calm, and highly readable. It keeps the interface mostly warm off-white and translucent, then allows one tiny sorbet spark at a time to indicate freshness, selection, or urgency without turning the page into rainbow confectionery.
values
Product imagery and item names carry the primary emotional load; interface color supports browsing rather than competing with merchandise.Warm off-white space, soft translucency, and restrained blur create a chilled counter display rather than a loud promotional grid.Hierarchy is explicit: large product photography, compact metadata, one primary price/action line, and tiny chromatic signals only where decisions happen.Youthfulness comes from rounded geometry, bead-like chips, and soft asymmetric glints, not from childish illustration or saturated gradients.Every accent is rationed: lychee, apricot, mint, or blueberry-lilac appears as a small spark and never as a full-page theme.Commerce states remain accessible and legible with dark cacao text, high contrast prices, and clear tap targets.
anti-values
×No rainbow product grids, confetti backgrounds, or multi-hue gradients that make each card fight for attention.×No generic SaaS dashboard chrome, thick gray borders, or anonymous equal-card template rhythm.×No glassmorphism excess: translucency stays milky and readable rather than glossy, reflective, or low contrast.×No decorative color in body copy, large panels, or headline treatments unless it directly marks a commerce state.

rules
composition
Use an image-led marketplace composition: a large feature card spans two rows, supporting cards form a quiet masonry-like browse field, and filter rails stay compact. Keep navigation and cart controls as small pills floating in the warm margin. Avoid equal three-card rows; at least one product module must be visibly dominant and another must be compressed into a dense list moment.
density
Medium-airy browsing density with tight metadata clusters at 4-10px and generous section separations of 64-88px; cards feel touchable but not padded into empty templates.
hierarchy
Hierarchy begins with product photography at 45-60 percent of each card, then a dark item title, then muted descriptors, then a price/action row. Accent marks may point to selected filters, limited batches, or add buttons, but headings and prices remain cacao-dark for accessibility. Display type uses Fraunces softness, body uses Manrope precision, and SKU-like notes use IBM Plex Mono.
signature patterns
Dew-glass card shell: each card combines backdrop-filter blur, rgba porcelain fill, a one-pixel transparent border, and an inset white highlight line.Sorbet bead state marker: selection and freshness are shown by one small circular bead attached to a card corner or pill edge, not by recoloring the whole component.Oval-rectangle product well: product imagery is clipped inside a rounded rectangular well with a single faint radial tint behind the object and text kept below.Asymmetric browse rhythm: CSS grid spans create one hero product, two standard cards, and one skinny editorial strip so the page avoids equal-card sameness.Micro underline pricing: sale or active price receives a 2px desaturated sorbet underline segment shorter than the number rather than a colored badge block.
layout
breakpoints
Mobile below 640px becomes a single image-led column; tablet 640-1023px uses two columns with the feature card full width; desktop 1024px and above uses the asymmetric 12-column browse grid.
density

Airy commerce density with compact metadata groups; the ratio between 6px internal chip gaps and 88px page separations preserves a dewy calm.

grid
Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with 24px gutters; feature cards span 5 columns by 2 rows, product cards span 3-4 columns, and a slim list panel spans the remaining columns.
responsive
Preserve product image priority on all widths, collapse filters into horizontal scroll pills on mobile, and keep cart summary after the product grid rather than as a fixed overlay.
whitespace
Whitespace is warm and protective: 24-32px inside cards, 48px between commerce clusters, and 64-88px around the hero and category bands so color sparks have room to stay tiny.
guidance
do
  • Use only one or two sorbet sparks in a viewport at once, preferably on the active filter and a single featured product state.
  • Keep product photographs, item names, and prices darker and clearer than any decorative surface effect.
  • Choose warm off-white backgrounds and milky translucent cards with blur values that still preserve text contrast.
  • Create hierarchy through grid span, image scale, and typography before adding badges or color.
  • Use Fraunces for short display moments and Manrope for all commerce details, with mandatory negative tracking.
  • Place color as beads, chips, tiny underlines, or edge glints; make each accent physically small and purposeful.
  • Maintain touch-friendly pill controls and add buttons with clear hover/focus states.
avoid
  • Do not use rainbow category systems, loud candy gradients, or saturated accent floods across multiple cards.
  • Do not put low-contrast text on translucent tinted image wells or decorative radial glints.
  • Do not build three equal product cards in a row without a dominant product or grid break.
  • Do not use thick gray borders, default form controls, generic dashboard panels, or chart-like sections.
  • Do not let softness become blur: surfaces must stay readable, structured, and commerce-first.
  • Do not mix arbitrary radii; stay with 16px, 24px, and full pills.
  • Do not animate with bounce, elastic candy motion, or continuous shimmer.

# Sorbet Spark Minimal Commerce Cards

## Philosophy

Sorbet Spark Minimal Commerce Cards is an image-led commerce language for youthful discovery experiences that need to feel dew-fresh, calm, and highly readable. It keeps the interface mostly warm off-white and translucent, then allows one tiny sorbet spark at a time to indicate freshness, selection, or urgency without turning the page into rainbow confectionery.

### Values

- Product imagery and item names carry the primary emotional load; interface color supports browsing rather than competing with merchandise.
- Warm off-white space, soft translucency, and restrained blur create a chilled counter display rather than a loud promotional grid.
- Hierarchy is explicit: large product photography, compact metadata, one primary price/action line, and tiny chromatic signals only where decisions happen.
- Youthfulness comes from rounded geometry, bead-like chips, and soft asymmetric glints, not from childish illustration or saturated gradients.
- Every accent is rationed: lychee, apricot, mint, or blueberry-lilac appears as a small spark and never as a full-page theme.
- Commerce states remain accessible and legible with dark cacao text, high contrast prices, and clear tap targets.

### Anti-Values

- No rainbow product grids, confetti backgrounds, or multi-hue gradients that make each card fight for attention.
- No generic SaaS dashboard chrome, thick gray borders, or anonymous equal-card template rhythm.
- No glassmorphism excess: translucency stays milky and readable rather than glossy, reflective, or low contrast.
- No decorative color in body copy, large panels, or headline treatments unless it directly marks a commerce state.

### Visual Character

- Cards use rgba warm-white surfaces with backdrop-filter blur, one-pixel translucent borders, and an inset top highlight to create dew-fresh mist without heavy shadows.
- Accent color is constrained to pea-sized rounded chips, selected-card corner beads, tiny price underlines, and micro glints positioned behind imagery.
- The grid deliberately mixes one dominant feature card with smaller product cards using CSS grid spans so browsing has hierarchy instead of three equal tiles.
- Product images sit on clipped oval-rectangle wells with soft radial background tints while all text remains outside the tint field for readability.
- Controls use pill geometry with 9999px radii, tight 6-10px internal gaps, and desaturated active fills that look like sorbet droplets on porcelain.

## Rules

### Composition

Use an image-led marketplace composition: a large feature card spans two rows, supporting cards form a quiet masonry-like browse field, and filter rails stay compact. Keep navigation and cart controls as small pills floating in the warm margin. Avoid equal three-card rows; at least one product module must be visibly dominant and another must be compressed into a dense list moment.

### Density

Medium-airy browsing density with tight metadata clusters at 4-10px and generous section separations of 64-88px; cards feel touchable but not padded into empty templates.

### Hierarchy

Hierarchy begins with product photography at 45-60 percent of each card, then a dark item title, then muted descriptors, then a price/action row. Accent marks may point to selected filters, limited batches, or add buttons, but headings and prices remain cacao-dark for accessibility. Display type uses Fraunces softness, body uses Manrope precision, and SKU-like notes use IBM Plex Mono.

### Signature Patterns

- Dew-glass card shell: each card combines backdrop-filter blur, rgba porcelain fill, a one-pixel transparent border, and an inset white highlight line.
- Sorbet bead state marker: selection and freshness are shown by one small circular bead attached to a card corner or pill edge, not by recoloring the whole component.
- Oval-rectangle product well: product imagery is clipped inside a rounded rectangular well with a single faint radial tint behind the object and text kept below.
- Asymmetric browse rhythm: CSS grid spans create one hero product, two standard cards, and one skinny editorial strip so the page avoids equal-card sameness.
- Micro underline pricing: sale or active price receives a 2px desaturated sorbet underline segment shorter than the number rather than a colored badge block.

## Layout

### Breakpoints

Mobile below 640px becomes a single image-led column; tablet 640-1023px uses two columns with the feature card full width; desktop 1024px and above uses the asymmetric 12-column browse grid.

### Density

Airy commerce density with compact metadata groups; the ratio between 6px internal chip gaps and 88px page separations preserves a dewy calm.

### Grid

Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with 24px gutters; feature cards span 5 columns by 2 rows, product cards span 3-4 columns, and a slim list panel spans the remaining columns.

### Responsive

Preserve product image priority on all widths, collapse filters into horizontal scroll pills on mobile, and keep cart summary after the product grid rather than as a fixed overlay.

### Whitespace

Whitespace is warm and protective: 24-32px inside cards, 48px between commerce clusters, and 64-88px around the hero and category bands so color sparks have room to stay tiny.

## Guidance

### Do

- Use only one or two sorbet sparks in a viewport at once, preferably on the active filter and a single featured product state.
- Keep product photographs, item names, and prices darker and clearer than any decorative surface effect.
- Choose warm off-white backgrounds and milky translucent cards with blur values that still preserve text contrast.
- Create hierarchy through grid span, image scale, and typography before adding badges or color.
- Use Fraunces for short display moments and Manrope for all commerce details, with mandatory negative tracking.
- Place color as beads, chips, tiny underlines, or edge glints; make each accent physically small and purposeful.
- Maintain touch-friendly pill controls and add buttons with clear hover/focus states.

### Don't

- Do not use rainbow category systems, loud candy gradients, or saturated accent floods across multiple cards.
- Do not put low-contrast text on translucent tinted image wells or decorative radial glints.
- Do not build three equal product cards in a row without a dominant product or grid break.
- Do not use thick gray borders, default form controls, generic dashboard panels, or chart-like sections.
- Do not let softness become blur: surfaces must stay readable, structured, and commerce-first.
- Do not mix arbitrary radii; stay with 16px, 24px, and full pills.
- Do not animate with bounce, elastic candy motion, or continuous shimmer.

### Accessibility

Body text must maintain AA contrast on warm white; accent colors are never the sole state signal and are paired with shape, label text, or position. Focus states use a cacao outline plus a sorbet bead or underline.

### Usage Context

Best for boutique snack, beauty, stationery, toy, and lifestyle commerce experiences where browsing should feel fresh and youthful but still premium and readable.

# Sorbet Spark Minimal Commerce Cards

## Overview

Sorbet Spark Minimal Commerce Cards is an image-led commerce language for youthful discovery experiences that need to feel dew-fresh, calm, and highly readable. It keeps the interface mostly warm off-white and translucent, then allows one tiny sorbet spark at a time to indicate freshness, selection, or urgency without turning the page into rainbow confectionery.

### Values

- Product imagery and item names carry the primary emotional load; interface color supports browsing rather than competing with merchandise.
- Warm off-white space, soft translucency, and restrained blur create a chilled counter display rather than a loud promotional grid.
- Hierarchy is explicit: large product photography, compact metadata, one primary price/action line, and tiny chromatic signals only where decisions happen.
- Youthfulness comes from rounded geometry, bead-like chips, and soft asymmetric glints, not from childish illustration or saturated gradients.
- Every accent is rationed: lychee, apricot, mint, or blueberry-lilac appears as a small spark and never as a full-page theme.
- Commerce states remain accessible and legible with dark cacao text, high contrast prices, and clear tap targets.

### Anti-Values

- No rainbow product grids, confetti backgrounds, or multi-hue gradients that make each card fight for attention.
- No generic SaaS dashboard chrome, thick gray borders, or anonymous equal-card template rhythm.
- No glassmorphism excess: translucency stays milky and readable rather than glossy, reflective, or low contrast.
- No decorative color in body copy, large panels, or headline treatments unless it directly marks a commerce state.

### Visual Character

- Cards use rgba warm-white surfaces with backdrop-filter blur, one-pixel translucent borders, and an inset top highlight to create dew-fresh mist without heavy shadows.
- Accent color is constrained to pea-sized rounded chips, selected-card corner beads, tiny price underlines, and micro glints positioned behind imagery.
- The grid deliberately mixes one dominant feature card with smaller product cards using CSS grid spans so browsing has hierarchy instead of three equal tiles.
- Product images sit on clipped oval-rectangle wells with soft radial background tints while all text remains outside the tint field for readability.
- Controls use pill geometry with 9999px radii, tight 6-10px internal gaps, and desaturated active fills that look like sorbet droplets on porcelain.

## Components

### Composition

Use an image-led marketplace composition: a large feature card spans two rows, supporting cards form a quiet masonry-like browse field, and filter rails stay compact. Keep navigation and cart controls as small pills floating in the warm margin. Avoid equal three-card rows; at least one product module must be visibly dominant and another must be compressed into a dense list moment.

### Density

Medium-airy browsing density with tight metadata clusters at 4-10px and generous section separations of 64-88px; cards feel touchable but not padded into empty templates.

### Hierarchy

Hierarchy begins with product photography at 45-60 percent of each card, then a dark item title, then muted descriptors, then a price/action row. Accent marks may point to selected filters, limited batches, or add buttons, but headings and prices remain cacao-dark for accessibility. Display type uses Fraunces softness, body uses Manrope precision, and SKU-like notes use IBM Plex Mono.

### Signature Patterns

- Dew-glass card shell: each card combines backdrop-filter blur, rgba porcelain fill, a one-pixel transparent border, and an inset white highlight line.
- Sorbet bead state marker: selection and freshness are shown by one small circular bead attached to a card corner or pill edge, not by recoloring the whole component.

- Asymmetric browse rhythm: CSS grid spans create one hero product, two standard cards, and one skinny editorial strip so the page avoids equal-card sameness.
- Micro underline pricing: sale or active price receives a 2px desaturated sorbet underline segment shorter than the number rather than a colored badge block.

## 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-019e0a7d-1645-7460-8092-63d9e4cbec8d/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 Create hierarchy through grid span, image scale, and typography before adding badges or color.
- Do Use Fraunces for short display moments and Manrope for all commerce details, with mandatory negative tracking.
- Do Place color as beads, chips, tiny underlines, or edge glints; make each accent physically small and purposeful.
- Do Maintain touch-friendly pill controls and add buttons with clear hover/focus states.
- Don't Do not use rainbow category systems, loud candy gradients, or saturated accent floods across multiple cards.
- Don't Do not put low-contrast text on translucent tinted image wells or decorative radial glints.
- Don't Do not build three equal product cards in a row without a dominant product or grid break.
- Don't Do not use thick gray borders, default form controls, generic dashboard panels, or chart-like sections.
- Don't Do not let softness become blur: surfaces must stay readable, structured, and commerce-first.
- Don't Do not mix arbitrary radii; stay with 16px, 24px, and full pills.
- Don't Do not animate with bounce, elastic candy motion, or continuous shimmer.

### Accessibility

Body text must maintain AA contrast on warm white; accent colors are never the sole state signal and are paired with shape, label text, or position. Focus states use a cacao outline plus a sorbet bead or underline.

### Usage Context

Best for boutique snack, beauty, stationery, toy, and lifestyle commerce experiences where browsing should feel fresh and youthful but still premium and readable.

# Sorbet Spark Minimal Commerce Cards shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e0a7d-1645-7460-8092-63d9e4cbec8d`
Slug: `sorbet-spark-minimal-commerce-cards`

## Intent

Sorbet Spark Minimal Commerce Cards is an image-led commerce language for youthful discovery experiences that need to feel dew-fresh, calm, and highly readable. It keeps the interface mostly warm off-white and translucent, then allows one tiny sorbet spark at a time to indicate freshness, selection, or urgency without turning the page into rainbow confectionery.

## 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:

{
  "accent": "#E8A8B4",
  "background": "#FBF7EF",
  "border": "#E3DDD6",
  "error": "#B86B6A",
  "info": "#8F8BC7",
  "muted": "#8F817A",
  "primary": "#3B302C",
  "secondary": "#8A6F67",
  "success": "#6F9D82",
  "surface": "#FFFDF8",
  "text": "#2D2724",
  "warning": "#C99A5A"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Manrope",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fraunces:opsz,wght,SOFT,WONK@9..144,500..700,60,0..1&family=Manrope:wght@400;500;600;700&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@500;600&display=swap",

  "letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
  "line_height": 1.55,
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.22
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Cards use rgba warm-white surfaces with backdrop-filter blur, one-pixel translucent borders, and an inset top highlight to create dew-fresh mist without heavy shadows.
- Accent color is constrained to pea-sized rounded chips, selected-card corner beads, tiny price underlines, and micro glints positioned behind imagery.
- The grid deliberately mixes one dominant feature card with smaller product cards using CSS grid spans so browsing has hierarchy instead of three equal tiles.
- Product images sit on clipped oval-rectangle wells with soft radial background tints while all text remains outside the tint field for readability.
- Controls use pill geometry with 9999px radii, tight 6-10px internal gaps, and desaturated active fills that look like sorbet droplets on porcelain.

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/sorbet-spark-minimal-commerce-cards/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 only one or two sorbet sparks in a viewport at once, preferably on the active filter and a single featured product state.; Keep product photographs, item names, and prices darker and clearer than any decorative surface effect.; Choose warm off-white backgrounds and milky translucent cards with blur values that still preserve text contrast.; Create hierarchy through grid span, image scale, and typography before adding badges or color.; Use Fraunces for short display moments and Manrope for all commerce details, with mandatory negative tracking.; Place color as beads, chips, tiny underlines, or edge glints; make each accent physically small and purposeful.; Maintain touch-friendly pill controls and add buttons with clear hover/focus states.
- Do not: Do not use rainbow category systems, loud candy gradients, or saturated accent floods across multiple cards.; Do not put low-contrast text on translucent tinted image wells or decorative radial glints.; Do not build three equal product cards in a row without a dominant product or grid break.; Do not use thick gray borders, default form controls, generic dashboard panels, or chart-like sections.; Do not let softness become blur: surfaces must stay readable, structured, and commerce-first.; Do not mix arbitrary radii; stay with 16px, 24px, and full pills.; Do not animate with bounce, elastic candy motion, or continuous shimmer.

## 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

{
  "breakpoints": "Mobile below 640px becomes a single image-led column; tablet 640-1023px uses two columns with the feature card full width; desktop 1024px and above uses the asymmetric 12-column browse grid.",
  "density": "Airy commerce density with compact metadata groups; the ratio between 6px internal chip gaps and 88px page separations preserves a dewy calm.",
  "grid": "Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with 24px gutters; feature cards span 5 columns by 2 rows, product cards span 3-4 columns, and a slim list panel spans the remaining columns.",
  "responsive": "Preserve product image priority on all widths, collapse filters into horizontal scroll pills on mobile, and keep cart summary after the product grid rather than as a fixed overlay.",
  "whitespace": "Whitespace is warm and protective: 24-32px inside cards, 48px between commerce clusters, and 64-88px around the hero and category bands so color sparks have room to stay tiny."
