Designed to feel like a broadsheet newspaper pulled straight from the docks, this site for Australian fresh-seafood market Sea Harvest is a beautifully committed exercise in vintage editorial style. Crisp black-and-white columns, classic serif headlines like “Catch of the Day” and “Straight from the Source,” and finely detailed antique engravings of salmon, crab and a mariner’s compass give the layout a timeless, hand-set charm. The grid is orderly and generous, dotted with dashed borders and small print flourishes that reward a slow read. It is a warm, characterful piece of web design that trades the usual glossy food-site tropes for storytelling and craft, and you can explore the full experience over at seaharvest.net.au. A really lovely tribute to print heritage on the web.
