Three working mockups using the 2026 retreat content from Kermit's Word doc. Registration form is replaced with a "save the dates / sign-up opens in August" hold message in each one. Open each to see typography + palette decisions in context. None of the three are final — they're meant to be reacted to.
Direction A
A Twin Cities Catholic institution that's been around.
Honors the existing site's identity — Libre Baskerville + Lato + Source Sans 3, warm red + tan + dark brown. Familiar register; lower risk. The rebuild that looks most like the current site, just better-executed.
Open Mockup A
Direction B · Recommended
Walking the grounds in late autumn.
Cistercian minimalism + Ordinary Time green. Source Serif 4 single-family throughout. Continuous ivory; subtle dividers.
Open Mockup B
Direction C
A typed letter from the director.
Page-as-letter aesthetic. Cardo throughout, single typeface. Narrow max-width. Drop cap on the opening paragraph; signed-off coordinator block.
Open Mockup C
Each mockup is self-contained HTML with the 42 emblem inlined as base64 and Google Fonts loaded via CDN. Open in a browser; resize to test mobile.
