Summary
Create a clean, minimalist blog index page with a monochromatic editorial aesthetic. Use a centered 896px max-width layout with a primary focus on typography (General Sans), generous vertical spacing, and 3:2 aspect ratio imagery placeholders. The design should feature a vertical list of posts with thin divider lines and a structured pagination system at the bottom.
Style
The style is minimalist and high-contrast, utilizing 'General Sans' as the primary font with weights ranging from 400 to 700. The color palette is strictly grayscale: White (#FFFFFF) background, Dark Gray (#111827) for headings and primary text, and Medium Gray (#4B5563) for body text and metadata. Visual interest is generated through large heading sizes (4xl to 5xl), tracking-tight letter spacing, and subtle hover states like 1px underlines with 4px offsets. Transitions are smooth and subtle, focusing on color and text-decoration changes.
Layout & Structure
The layout is a single-column container centered on the page with a maximum width of 896px. It follows a top-down hierarchy: a centralized hero header, a vertical list of blog articles separated by horizontal rules, and a functional bottom pagination bar.

Special Notes
MUST: Maintain strict 3:2 aspect ratio for all thumbnails to ensure editorial consistency. MUST: Use 'General Sans' or a similar geometric sans-serif to preserve the clean aesthetic. MUST NOT: Use any shadows or gradients; depth should be created solely through border contrasts and grayscale tones. MUST: Ensure the 'Read Article' text and the Arrow icon are perfectly aligned horizontally.
