Design DNA

Charcoal-to-black page with a small transitional serif used at body size for everything; headings are only slightly larger, so hierarchy comes from position and spacing rather than scale. Each section pairs a short left-aligned paragraph with a 'YOU'RE VIEWING' strip of tiny artwork thumbnails, title and artist, which reads like a gallery label. Art appears as glitchy chromatic stills inside room photography. Thin outlined buttons (REQUEST, DISCOVER LAYER CANVAS). A warm interior shot anchors the patron CTA.

Worth borrowing

Use a gallery-label strip (thumbnail, title, artist) as the recurring proof element instead of logos.
Hold headings at near-body size and let dark space and position carry hierarchy.
