Do / Don't

Reference it for

  • Near-monochrome discipline: text rgb(0,0,0) on background rgb(255,255,255), a lone footer/panel graphite rgb(17,18,18), and one whisper grey rgb(157,156,156) for muted labels
  • Wordmark set in GranbyEF-Light, all-caps, with the wide 2.608px tracking that reads as a museum plaque rather than a logo
  • SabonLTPro (a Times-family serif) doing the working typography: product titles, captions and prices, mostly at 13.04px/16px, tight and unbossy
  • The tiny 13.04px caption size at 0.64px letter-spacing for product names and material descriptions ('Ceramic mortar with wooden pestle')
  • Full-bleed hero: one editorial still-life photo edge to edge under a thin sticky nav, with the section title set BELOW the image, not overlaid
  • Restrained nav row (Shop, Alice's Collection, Journal, About, Makers, Newsletter, Login) with an italic-serif active state and a bare 0-count cart glyph
  • Content max-width around 1224-1296px, generous white margins, products in an unhurried grid rather than dense merchandising
  • Prices shown plainly ($1,627.00) with status words ('pre-order', 'Out of Stock') as flat lowercase labels, no badges or pills
