A samba school is a neighborhood institution that marshals thousands into a single 80-minute parade — floats, drums, dancers, one story, judged at dawn. This design system captures the 2000s Sambódromo visual peak: floodlit royal blue asphalt, sequin-gold banners, hot-pink abre-alas ribbons, and the relentless diagonal energy of allegoric floats rolling past timing judges.

The palette is nocturnal and electric, never daylight-beach. Typography screams from float banners in condensed slab capitals. Every surface carries a faint sequin-dot halftone, and diagonal stripes cut across cards like abre-alas prows splitting the avenue.
