A firm site that trades on restraint

Whitford is built for boutique law firms — the three-to-six-attorney shops where the pitch is careful thinking, not volume. Every design choice errs toward understatement. No dropshadows, no gradients, no exclamation marks in the copy.

Authority through typography

Libre Caslon Text carries the headlines — the old-style serif that's printed on partnership letterhead and court filings for a hundred and fifty years. Inter handles body copy and form labels. Section labels render as real small-caps (`font-variant: small-caps`, not uppercase text-transform), which is the visual grammar of legal documents. Roman numerals segment the home page because `§I / §II / §III` reads as serious in a way `1 / 2 / 3` does not.

Professional services, not transactional

No product cards. No buy buttons. No time-slot booking form — legal intake is qualitative (prospective clients describe a situation, the firm reviews for conflicts + fit, then schedules). The contact page uses Sitelas's form primitive with a confidentiality notice that meets ABA Model Rule 1.18 expectations. If you prompt 'build me a bakery', the AI reaches for booking and commerce. If you prompt 'build me a law firm', it should reach for almost none of that — this fixture is the structural example of restraint.
