Typography matters. Mainly in designing special pages, like the programme.

Lobster sees the pot,
A cozy trap, sweetly baited—
Dinner, not for him.

Titles and menus: are pre-formatted to use the font called Impact. I think originally used in the print programme back in the day.

Impact

Since mobiles don’t seem to support Impact, the website should substitute Anton – a google font – when Impact is not found and gracefully degrade to a sans serif font should neither be available.

Anton

Paragraph text is plain old: Arial, sans serif.

To use these styles simply apply the appropriate heading style in the editor, no need for colouring crayons.

The current pages illustrate quite well how it all currently works, with some exceptions, where the page has crashed (the credits e.g.).

You should be able to design an online version of the programme this way, without losing your hair over formatting.

H1 – a main title – currently reserved for the content titles

H2 – reserved for making the main programme headings stand out!

H3 – for making other headings stand out!

H4 – used in the programme headings and widget headings!

H5 – at the foot of a page for stand out effect!

Use H6 with H5 as a subhead

Widget headings: Impact Yellow on Dark blue

Colour scheme

Yellow: #FFD100 or rgba(255,209,0)

Pale blue: #00AAC3 or rgba (0,170,195)

Dark blue: #008DBD rgba (0,141,189)

More finery – the blockquote and stand out bullets

to boldly quote where no man quoth before

nice plain bullets
remove list style
plainly simply

Flag Star (graphic)

Pale 6 star (background graphic)

Week End – Week Long (graphics) – maybe these should be pngs

Official Logoalia (graphic)

Use galleries to arrange images – else they will look weird

The above were based on what could extracted from an old programme circa 2018 – an editable PDF.
