This is the Wieden+Kennedy agency website, a portfolio-driven site positioning the agency as a premium, cinematic creative powerhouse. The design relies on a monochromatic base of deep black (#000000) and stark white (#FFFFFF) for UI text, allowing large photographic imagery to provide all color and emotion. The typography is exclusively a clean grotesque-sans (Univers LT Std) set almost entirely at a light weight of 300, with display sizes reaching 68px for maximum impact. The layout is full-bleed and immersive, with generous padding (up to 96px) creating a refined, breathable rhythm. Critical donts: never use bold font weights above 500, never add bright accent colors that compete with the photography, and never use rounded corners on structural components.
