Summary
An archival institutional landing page featuring a scholarly aesthetic with high-contrast serif headers, a cream background, and sophisticated green and gold accents. The design uses fixed navigation, noise-textured overlays, and timeline-based storytelling.
Style
The style is 'Digital Curatorial'—combining academic tradition with modern interaction. Typography pairs 'Playfair Display' (headings/italics) with 'Outfit' (body/UI). Primary color is a deep forest green (#00604a) complemented by a rich cream (#fefdef), an accent gold (#d4af37), and a secondary crimson (#bd264a). Visuals use grayscale photography that transitions to color on hover. A subtle SVG noise overlay provides a tactile paper feel.
Layout & Structure
