Custom Newsletter Form issue (that's driving me to drink!)

Site URL: https://otipoti.squarespace.com/

Heyyy.

This never ending website is killing me!

Client wants a custom newsletter signup in the footer. I've gotten so far, but for the life of me can't figure out how to re-align the placeholder "email address" in the email field box (which is no longer a box).  Pics attached show the problem. If anyone know how to also get rid of the actual button and just have the words "Sign Up", I'd be intrigued to learn!

This is the code I've used:

// Solid Underline Newsletter Form // 

.newsletter-form-field-element {
    border-bottom: solid 1px #242424 !important;
    background-color: transparent !important;
    border-top: none !important;
    border-left: none !important;
    border-right: none !important;
}

//NEWSLETTER FONT//
body:not(.button-style-default)
.newsletter-form .newsletter-form-button {
    font-family: OTIPOTI !important;     
    font-size: 1.3rem !important;
    font-weight: 500 !important;
    padding: .8rem .8rem !important;
}
input {
          font-family: 'OTIPOTI';
          letter-spacing: 0;
          font-size: 16px;
          line-height: 1em;
          padding: 15px 20px;
          background-color: transparent;
          @media screen and (max-width: 640px) {
            padding: 15px 15px;
          }
          @media screen and (max-width: 420px) {
            padding: 17px 0 17px 12px;
          }
          display: block;
          border: none;
          &::placeholder{
            font-family: 'OTIPOTI';
            font-size: 24px;
            line-height: 1em;
            letter-spacing: 0;
            position: center
            color: #868383 !important; 
           }
        }
        @media screen and (max-width: 1350px) {
          width:  ~"calc(70% - 8px)";
        }
        @media screen and (max-width: 1200px) {
          width:  ~"calc(64%)";
        }
        @media screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
          width:  ~"calc(75%)";
        }

Hi. You want to remove signup background?

Hey Tuan! No, I want to either remove or re-align the text "email address". I'd also like to remove the actual BUTTON, and just have the words....

Use this CSS

footer.sections .newsletter-form-button-wrapper {
    display: none;
}
