A studio website menu overlay where an oversized serif MATERIAL wordmark runs edge to edge, with small wood and steel photo crops tucked into the letterforms.
Summary
A fullscreen menu overlay for a maker's studio site where the word MATERIAL is set so large it bleeds off both edges in a high-contrast serif, with the navigation tucked into the lower-left corner.
Visual description
The overlay sits on an off-white panel inset within a warm taupe page margin. A black serif headline reads MATERIAL at a scale where the M and final L are clipped by the frame edges. Two small photographic crops overlap the letters: a vertical bark-texture image labeled WOOD over the middle, and an angled card showing a metal tool labeled STEEL near the right. Corner labels carry the wordmark VONHEILIG, a year, and a MENU HOVER state note. The vertical nav list lower-left dims inactive items to grey and marks the active Materials item with an arrow, underline, and a small count badge. Studio address and contact sit bottom-right in tiny grey sans-serif.
Key takeaway
Letting a single oversized serif word run past the canvas edges so it reads as texture, then threading small captioned photo crops through the counters of the letters to preview content without a separate gallery.
Reuse notes
A strong navigation or menu-overlay pattern for a craft, architecture, or furniture studio where materials are the story. Needs genuinely good close-up photography to justify the crops, and the off-white-on-taupe palette keeps it from feeling cold.
