11 · Catalogue

Uniform grid of variations of the same thing — typefaces, colour palettes, product SKUs. The page is a visual index of inventory.

  • Heading: brand mark + tagline only; no big display.
  • Body: grid of identical-sized cards (35 per row), each one variant of the core product.
  • Divider: hairline rules between rows; sometimes a category label band.
  • Button: card-internal link to detail page; no global CTA.
  • Image: specimen thumbnail per card, or a swatch.
  • Reveal: none.

Reach for it for foundries, palette generators, font shops, colour systems, capsule collections.

Avoid for narrative brands. Catalogue treats every item as equal — wrong for products with hierarchy.

Reference: Klim Type Foundry, Pangram Pangram, Coolors palettes.

Sample opening lines (imitate the specificity — Catalogue openings are inventory headers, dated, with a count):

"Today's loaves." — Maple Street Bread (test 03) — two words, ownership of the day "Five collections, in store now." — names the count and the where "Thirty-eight items · Spring 2026 · all hand-stitched." — count, date, qualifier; no adjectives
