The reference for oversized editorial type as image, where 190px marigold #f9af26 Plaak 6 wordmarks (CAPSULE COLLECTION, NEW DROP, SILVER LANDS) are stacked straight over a full-bleed campaign photo so the headline becomes the composition.

Reference it for

  • Massive display type as the hero itself: 190px Plaak 6 (condensed grotesque) in marigold #f9af26 laid directly over a photograph, letter-spacing -4px so the caps lock into a solid block
  • Two-tone brand system: near-black #000 UI and copy against a single hot accent #f9af26 (marigold), no third colour, no shadows (boxShadow is empty)
  • Warm off-white grounds instead of pure white for content blocks: beige #ede9df, #f6f2eb, #f8f6f2 to keep the editorial feel out of e-commerce sterility
  • Type pairing: Exposure Regular serif (205TF) for body and long-form brand voice against Plaak 3 / Plaak 6 sans (205TF grotesques) for nav, buttons and the giant display
  • Thin utility nav, 72px tall (--nav-height), all-caps small labels at 16px, no logo lockup beyond the wordmark COUTUMES set in the serif
  • Sharp hardware everywhere: 0px button radius, 1px hairline borders, 1px card radius; the only pill (9999px) is reserved for tiny status chips
  • Split full-bleed hero: two campaign photos butted edge-to-edge (product-in-hand crop beside a styled model portrait) under one continuous type overlay
  • Scroll-triggered word marquees where each glyph is a separate node (C A P S U L E), enabling per-letter reveal on the 205TF display faces

Do not copy

  • The COUTUMES serif wordmark and the men's-jewellery brand voice
  • The exact marigold #f9af26 as your only accent (it reads specifically as this label)
  • The licensed 205TF faces Exposure Regular, Plaak 3 and Plaak 6 (buy your own or substitute)
  • The campaign photography: the hat-and-ring crop, the model-with-Range-Rover portrait, the real people
  • Brand copy lines like 'introducing new rituals into the modern man's wardrobe' and 'Silver Lands'
  • The Souvenirs Club / Denim Collection collection naming
  • The Shopify Okendo reviews and Alma installment widgets baked into the tokens
