Mist Gray Aubergine Window Editorial

/mistGrayAubergineWindowEditorial
Design philosophy: create a quieter, more editorial café landing page inspired by local newspaper listings, steamed windows, and neatly maintained printed menus. Core beliefs: sophistication can come from hierarchy, restraint, and real images rather than decoration. Strict rules: mist-white navbar, 80vh hero with soft doorway or window-light photography, aubergine CTA, small golden review stars tucked beside the headline, centered proof-led introduction, alternating feature sections with generous image crops, one aubergine feature band with pale text, background-photo quote panel, ruled menu table with aligned prices, and location separated by fine horizontal rules. Typography philosophy: pair FF Meta, Humanist 521, or Myriad Pro with Lato, Cabin, or Source Sans 3; compact labels, readable body copy, no display theatrics. Spacing: editorial but maintainable. Motion: opacity fades only. Imagery: regular tables, staff hands, handwritten notices photographed plainly. Refuses beige, stickers, review widgets, icon grids. Mediocre implementation: gloomy purple restaurant theme. Common mistakes: muddy aubergine, heavy overlays, inconsistent gutters.
