The identity
A character of its own
Nardo is a two-mode warm system: sunlit plaster and canyon-earth by day, near-black red-brown after dusk, and a single fired-terracotta accent used only for decisive action. Long-form pages and hospitality copy are the point; the accent is the coal, not the wallpaper.

Who it speaks to
Hospitality, food, craft, and heritage brands that want warmth rather than the usual cool-tech neutral: restaurants and wine bars publishing menus and stories, boutique hotels and lodges, makers and roasters with a house journal, cultural and mission-era institutions telling long-form history.
The voice
How it sounds
Warm, grounded, and unhurried. Speak like a host, not a landing page: concrete nouns (clay, oak, char, harvest, room), short declarative sentences, and specifics over adjectives. Confidence comes from craft detail, never from hype or urgency.
Art direction
The thinking behind the look
Light mode uses sunlit plaster (#fff8f3), canyon ink (#2a1710), and fired terracotta (#aa4525); dark mode uses canyon-earth near-black (#170e0a), pale cream (#f0e6df), and brighter terracotta (#d4623a). Georgia headings, a system-sans body, near-square adobe-like radii, and warm shadows carry the material register. Link-tinted rules remain terracotta in both modes.
