The reference for warm-earth legal gravitas: an ivory #faf5ef canvas, oxblood #a8463f accents and a full-bleed sandstone hero split by a mixed-case logotype that runs italic Times Now into thin FH Total Display caps.

Do / Don't

Reference it for

  • Full-bleed photographic hero (natural red-rock sandstone) with a floating soft-edged image panel dropped behind an oversized centred logotype
  • Mixed-typeface logotype trick: lowercase italic serif ('word') colliding into thin upright display caps ('STONE') at ~165px to make one wordmark feel bespoke
  • Warm earthen palette instead of the usual navy/charcoal legal cliche: ivory bg #faf5ef, dark-brown body #5e4740, deep oxblood #502223, oxblood accent #a8463f, beige #c9b398
  • Times Now serif set in SemiLight italic (weight 200) for eyebrows and pull phrases like 'About Us' and 'Artistry in reason', tinted oxblood #a8463f
  • FH Total Display Thin (weight 100) at 165px for the hero display, kept whisper-light so the mass reads as elegance not shouting
  • Suisse Intl Light (weight 300) as the sans workhorse at 18.75px / 22.5px line-height for long expertise copy
  • Hairline oxblood divider rules (rgba(201,179,152,.5) border, ~1px) separating sections on the ivory field
  • Restrained type scale: 11.25/12/15/18.75px body steps up to 37.5/42/52.5px section heads and the 165px hero, no intermediate noise

Do not copy

  • The Wordstone logotype and its italic-word / caps-STONE construction
  • The specific sandstone rock-strata hero photography
  • The 'Artistry in reason' tagline and firm-specific expertise copy
  • Licensed commercial faces Times Now, FH Total Display and Suisse Intl (source your own display serif + neutral grotesk)
  • Paris/Washington office details, bar registrations and legal-entity boilerplate
  • The exact oxblood-on-ivory pairing as-is; shift hues so it does not read as a Wordstone clone
