# Header wayfinding plaque

> A projecting nameplate beside two stacked routes: the visitor menu above a ruled contact and booking rail. On a phone, a visible Menu control sits beside the discovery label. States no colour and no font of its own.

## The signature moment: the nameplate stands across two routes

The broad nameplate spans the height of the two adjacent routes. Its strong right edge separates identity from wayfinding; the primary menu has more room than the practical contact rail. On a phone the nameplate becomes the first plaque, then the native menu and booking action follow.

## Theme inheritance

The Core payload follows the theme’s base ground, contrast ink, heading face and button treatment. Its painter lets heading and link colour follow a recolour. Text is intended for 4.5:1 contrast, with 3:1 reserved for large display type.

## Display type

The linked business name is a display paragraph with its own fluid size and close leading. The address is a 15px label; navigation owns its compact 18px to 24px scale. Body copy follows the medium rung.

## Styled look

Ivory #F6F1E8, deep blue #202D47 and indigo #314A8A, with a Georgia nameplate and Arial navigation. The square booking button carries the indigo. Every action is deliberately filled or underlined. The Core payload preserves the same layout as the theme route.

## Editing

Edit the linked name, the native Navigation links, the address and booking destination. WordPress supplies the mobile menu overlay. Its visible Menu control sits beside the discovery label.
