Sackville & Co.. A hand-inked editorial spread where the illustration is the hero and the UI is just typeset text on warm paper.

  • Commerce
  • Light theme
  • 13 colors
  • 3 typefaces

Sackville & Co. reads like an editorial risograph zine pressed onto cream paper: a hand-inked cobalt-blue illustration anchors one half, while the other half breathes as off-white canvas with tight grotesque type and a single oversized oval outlined in blue. The system is intentionally print-coded — flat color, no gradients, no shadows, no filled buttons — and uses a saturated secondary palette (peach, fire-red, marigold, terracotta) as tonal accents in artwork and borders rather than as functional UI fills. Typography carries all the hierarchy: Founders Grotesk at weight 400 with aggressive negative line-heights (0.80–0.90) on display sizes creates the masthead pressure of a magazine cover, while TimesNow SemiLight provides editorial serif contrast for select headings. Everything feels hand-set: thin outlines, generous whitespace, no elevation, no rounded cards — just confident ink on warm paper.

Sackville & Co.

Brand1

  • Primary brand color — illustrated duotone wash, outlined action borders, interactive text — saturated blue against cream creates the risograph-print signature

Accent6

  • Secondary illustration accent, decorative borders, warm tonal fill — the cheek-pink of risograph layering

  • Outlined action borders, emphasis strokes, error-like accent — used as editorial red rather than as a functional error state

  • Deep red-orange accent for borders and fills — the warmest ink in the riso palette

  • Deep red accent — used sparingly in illustration washes and emphasis borders

  • Yellow accent fill, spot-color highlights, decorative emphasis — the third riso plate

  • Warm brown accent for body and heading borders — the earthiest ink in the editorial palette

Neutrals6

  • Icon fills, maximum-contrast borders, nav accent

  • Primary text, borders, dividers, icon strokes — the near-black ink that anchors every screen

  • Display heading text — slightly lifted from press black for softer masthead weight

  • Muted helper text, hairline borders, secondary metadata

  • Page canvas, card surfaces — the warm off-white that makes every ink color feel like print

  • Alternate surface wash, subtle section differentiation from the cream canvas
