The reference for luxury bespoke-travel restraint: a tall condensed display face (MFred) set in wide-tracked uppercase over full-bleed aerial imagery, warm stone-and-charcoal neutrals, and a single burnt-orange accent (#F38B00) that carries every CTA.

Do / Don't

Reference it for

  • Full-bleed aerial/landscape hero photography under a thin white top nav plus a centred wordmark logo, letting the image do the talking
  • MFred condensed display face in ALL-CAPS with generous letter-spacing (1.2px to 7.2px) for hero and section headlines, e.g. TRAVEL THAT MOVES YOU
  • A tri-font system: MFred for condensed display, Montserrat 400/500/600 for body and nav, and Berlingske Serif Text (light 300) for small italicised serif captions like Rooted in sustainability
  • Single-accent discipline: burnt orange #F38B00 (rgb 243,139,0) reserved only for the ENQUIRE button, footer headings, social icons and hover states, with #DB7E08 as the hover-darkened variant
  • Warm neutral base of stone #EBE9E6 section backgrounds, charcoal #535353 footer, and olive-grey #66665D body text instead of true black
  • Fully pill-shaped buttons (border-radius 9999px, used 26 times) as the only interactive shape language
  • 1280px max-width content container centring long-form editorial and card grids over the wide neutral field
  • Small-caps 12px nav and eyebrow labels with 1.2px+ tracking as the connective UI type
