AXEL ARIGATO. Candid city contact sheet.

AXEL ARIGATO uses a gallery-like commerce language: black Helvetica Now labels on a white field, documentary street photography in broad edge-to-edge image modules, and almost no decorative interface treatment. The page feels editorial rather than promotional; navigation, utility controls, and calls to explore are reduced to compact uppercase text and small icon marks. A pale butter-yellow surface interrupts the white canvas in service and footer areas, while square corners and hairline rules keep the interface deliberately architectural.
