Do / Don't

Reference it for

  • Oversized script display logo (Gopher Display Bold) in firebrick red #ba2b2b spanning most of the viewport as the hero centrepiece, not a heading
  • Warm beige page ground #fcf9f3 (rgb 252,249,243) instead of plain white for a lived-in trattoria feel
  • Firebrick red #ba2b2b as the single hot accent against beige + near-black text
  • Pitch Sans (mono-adjacent grotesque) at 500 weight for all functional copy, set in small uppercase 12-14px with wide tracking for opening hours, address, reservation blocks
  • Two-tier font system: Gopher Display Bold for the wordmark, Pitch Sans for everything else
  • Utility corners: opening hours pinned bottom-left, address + Google Maps bottom-right, both in tiny uppercase Pitch Sans
  • Cropped editorial food + staff photography (B&W group shot, a spritz in hand, a plate of crudo) scattered asymmetrically around the wordmark
  • Slim black top announcement bar (free shipping / visit store) full-bleed above a beige body

Do not copy

  • The Mano Cornuto script wordmark and name
  • The exact firebrick + beige + mc-green (#314d23) palette as a set
  • The real staff group photo and the founders' faces
  • The specific Montreal address, phone, reservations@manocornuto.com details
  • The horned-hand (mano cornuto) brand concept and the gold charm hanging top-left
  • The Gopher Display + Pitch Sans licensed foundry pairing verbatim
  • Brand-specific copy like 'YES, WE NOW TAKE RESERVATIONS :)'
