Ice-Lilac Paper Carbon Ink & Rouge-Bookmark Café Sheet
/icelilacPaperCarbonInkRougebookmarkCafSheet
Design philosophy: a delicate but severe café-sheet aesthetic using ice-white pages, barely lilac-grey content blocks, carbon-violet typography, cool pewter rules, golden yellow stars, and a narrow rouge-bookmark red accent for CTAs, active navigation, and one editorial proof link. Core beliefs: mystery should come from colour temperature, cropping, type rhythm, and restrained red—not gothic styling or luxury emptiness. Strict rules: slim light navbar, image-heavy hero, hero heading capped at 3xl, review stars directly beneath the claim, centered proof section with review count, alternating editorial image/text rows, menu rendered like careful HTML tables, and simple location/opening rows. Typography philosophy: combine Eczar, Grenze used minimally, or Judson headings with Cardo, Vollkorn, or Alegreya body; avoid default sans and fashionable display clichés. Spacing: repeatable 2015-era modules, medium gutters, consistent menu leading. Motion: opacity reveals, fine underlines, no parallax. Imagery: black leather, perfume-like glass reflections, folded menus, wet pavement. Refuses badges, avatars, beige, gradients, icons. Common mistakes: sugary lilac, theatrical perfume references, excessive rouge, cluttered rows.
