Marlowe

The Marlowe is a brick apartment house on the Tennessee riverfront, and the site is painted from that hour: a bone ground, one deep navy as the only heavy colour (header, tour band, footer, buttons), a warm near-black for type, and a single bronze rule spent on the mark under each heading and on the specials bar, never on buttons. Type pairs an italic old-style display (Fraunces) with a quiet grotesque body (Figtree): every section heading is set in italic, list titles and prices are upright semibold, and small-capital labels sit above. Shape is square: 2px corners, no shadows, and hairline rules in place of boxes and cards, with bands alternating bone and a slightly darker bone. The home page opens on the building's name over a full-bleed photograph that fades into navy, then the plans as a ruled price list, the amenities beside a photograph, one more photograph, the neighborhood with its map, a quiet photo strip, resident notes set as plain italic lines, and a navy closing band with the office and the tour form. A price is always the total monthly price with its label first and the rent after it; fees sit in ruled tables grouped by when they are paid. Photographs and plan drawings open large in a bone lightbox with ink-outlined Previous, Next and Close. It should read as a small-press brochure for a brick building, not a lifestyle poster.
