HALL & ROARK.

Imagined client: a solo trial attorney with 15 years in commercial litigation, recently broken off from a mid-size firm. Selling against the boilerplate "skyscraper photo + scales of justice" sites every other firm ships. The brief is to make the website feel like reading a closing argument — confident, direct, no padding — and to convert the kind of client who read two paragraphs and realizes they're talking to a real human, not a brand.

Stripped everything decorative. Stark typography hierarchy doing the work no image was going to do. A process timeline rendered as a semantic ordered list with date stamps. A lead-capture form that asks two questions instead of twelve. No hero image — the headline is the hero. Oxford-blue and oxblood on bone. The whole site reads like the inside of a serious-press hardcover, not a brochure.

Professional skeleton at maximum restraint. Proves Nucifera's house aesthetic *can* dial down — that brutalist doesn't always mean black backgrounds and screaming type. Sometimes it means knowing what to leave out. Loads in 600ms; readable on a courthouse hallway 4G connection; Lighthouse 100.
