The visual grammar behind Cocktail Pokédex — a restrained naturalist palette, editorial typography, and small components that make AI-drafted recipes feel trustworthy and worth keeping.
Foxed paper, ink, forest, oxblood, tobacco, sage. No purple, no glass.
Fraunces (display) + Inter (UI). Small-caps for taxonomy. Italic Fraunces for hand-annotation.
Bitter, smoky, not sweet. The Campari cuts through the blackstrap.
Three states. Needs-review fields earn the oxblood band and an italic annotation.
Trust comes from showing the work: every AI guess carries a chip, and review-state fields make the user the editor, not the receiver.
Specimen number in serif, oxblood, top-left.
4:5 plate. Falls into paper via gradient.
Family · Method · Glass in small-caps.
Numbered, serif, hairline separators.
Italic Fraunces — sounds like your voice.
Coupe glasses, never stars.
Missing photo, empty Dex slot, needs-review banding.
