Alex Dunmow 023bd23d96 feat(coffee): Wave A override contract — 49 builtin overrides, 7 page templates, persona blocks, seed
WO-TF-013. Bring the coffee theme up to the frozen OVERRIDE-CONTRACT:

- 49 mandatory builtin overrides in templates/overrides/coffee/ (chrome,
  marketing, primitives, commerce/local, blog family, auth surface,
  page-suggestions), each re-skinned in cafe/roastery chrome over the builtin
  data model. Legacy button/heading/image/text field reads updated to the new
  builtin contract (link/label/style, media/text).
- Signature moves: chalkboard menu panel (menu-list), hand-drawn doodle
  dividers, torn-paper edges, kraft-tag stamped buttons, circular roast stamps,
  hours "today" highlight. Semantic tokens only; CSS-first motion with
  prefers-reduced-motion fallbacks.
- 7 page templates: default, landing, article, full-width, blog-index, contact,
  auth.
- Blocks rework: deleted the five builtin-duplicating theme blocks (menu_board,
  hours_strip, location_card, footer, doodle_divider) — now overrides. Kept/added
  4 persona blocks: featured_pour, roast_profile, loyalty_card, brew_guide.
- 5 dual-mode presets (mode "both"), all 19 tokens, light and dark tuned.
- Bundled Fraunces / Work Sans / Caveat woff2 (OFL, latin subset, license
  recorded); fonts.json populated; all font-family via var(--font-*). Updated
  RECOMMENDED_FONTS.md, added RECOMMENDED_ICONS.md; required_icon_packs declared.
- Themed email-safe wrapper retained (tables, inline styles).
- Master pages rebuilt on builtin keys. Demo seed (demo:true): home, about,
  blog + 3 posts, contact (form + contact_submissions data table + row_inserted
  email-admins workflow), login. Cafe voice.

make (codeless build + verify) and check-safety both exit 0.

Coffee — Recommended fonts

The Coffee theme bundles its type as woff2 in assets/fonts/ (latin subsets, SIL Open Font License 1.1 — see assets/fonts/OFL.txt). The three families become source=template rows in the fonts table and are selectable in the admin typography picker. Templates always resolve font families through the BlockNinja CSS variables --font-heading, --font-body, --font-mono with the fallback stacks defined in the theme CSS — no family is hardcoded.

Bundled families

Slot Family Weights Role
Heading Fraunces 400, 600 Ligature-rich display serif for headings and prices. Warm, hand-cut character.
Body Work Sans 400, 600 Relaxed grotesque for long copy at 17px+. Reads well on cream and espresso backgrounds.
Accent Caveat 400, 700 Hand-drawn script for badges, stamps, and doodle captions.

Mono is intentionally not bundled: prices and tabular figures fall back to "JetBrains Mono", ..., monospace via --font-mono. Assign a mono family from the Google Fonts tab if you want a specific face.

Default behaviour (no admin picks)

On a fresh install the admin has not assigned any slot, so --font-heading / --font-body / --font-mono are unset and the CSS fallbacks apply. Because the bundled families emit @font-face from the fonts table, the fallbacks resolve to the bundled woff2:

  • Headings render in Fraunces.
  • Body renders in Work Sans.
  • Hand-drawn accents (.coffee-hand) render in Caveat.

How to change

  1. Open admin → Theme → Typography.
  2. Pick a family per slot (bundled families appear as Template fonts; the Google Fonts tab offers ~50 more).
  3. Assign to Heading / Body / Mono and save.

Note: the platform exposes three controllable slots. The hand-drawn accent utility resolves through --font-heading (falling back to Caveat), so if you deliberately change the heading font the badge accents follow it — that is the three-slot model working as intended.

Fallback stacks (theme CSS)

  • --coffee-heading-fallback: "Fraunces", "Playfair Display", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif
  • --coffee-body-fallback: "Work Sans", -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, sans-serif
  • --coffee-hand-fallback: "Caveat", "Segoe Print", "Bradley Hand", cursive
  • --coffee-mono-fallback: "JetBrains Mono", "Fira Code", Menlo, Consolas, monospace
