The reference for chaptered luxury-hotel storytelling: an oversized extralight ITC Avant Garde headline ("serene and private") floated over a full-bleed sunset video, on a near-monochrome greige (#e8e2de) and black palette anchored by Ogg display serif.

Do / Don't

Reference it for

  • Full-bleed cinematic video/photo hero with a centred oversized extralight sans headline (itc-avant-garde-exralight, ~78px) reversed out in white
  • Two-line typographic rhythm: a lowercase extralight sans line above a smaller uppercase tracked serif kicker (Ogg, letter-spacing ~1.1px)
  • Chaptered narrative structure (CHAPTER. I through V) turning a hotel into an editorial long-read: suites, spa, restaurant, weddings, founder story
  • Roman-numeral sub-sections (I, II, III, IV) inside each chapter as a quiet index device
  • Near-monochrome greige system: background #e8e2de, warm grey text #706f6f and #bfb7b5, black #000 for anchors
  • Pinned booking bar overlapping the hero base (Book directly / Check in / Check out / solid black BOOK NOW block)
  • Dual-face pairing: Ogg (display serif) for editorial headings + ITC Avant Garde Gothic (medium and extralight) for body and hero
  • Tiny type body at 14-15px with generous 26px line-height and wide 0.9px letter-spacing for a hushed, premium read
