Body — Nunito

Nunito Bold (700) — For emphasis and headings

Nunito SemiBold (600) — For subheadings and labels

Nunito Regular (400) — The warm, rounded body text that carries you through the evening. Its soft terminals and open counters keep everything feeling friendly, even at small sizes. Perfect for menus, descriptions, and stories told between sips of rum.

Caption size — fine print, footnotes, and the tiny text on the back of the cocktail umbrella.

Add-ons

06 Cards

Content carved into wooden panels, each one a window into a different corner of the island.

🌋

Volcano Tours

Guided hikes to the summit at sunset. Watch the lava glow as the sky turns purple. Not for the faint of heart.

🏝️

Lagoon Snorkeling

Crystal-clear waters, tropical fish, and a coral reef that looks like an underwater city. Equipment provided.

🎶

Luau Nights

Fire dancers, roast pig, and a cocktail list that could fill a novel. Every Saturday under the stars.

07 Alerts

Messages from the island — some gentle, some urgent. All delivered with the proper weight.

Ocean Advisory: Gentle swells expected this afternoon. The lagoon remains calm and perfect for swimming.
Reservation Confirmed: Your table for four on the Torch-lit Patio is set for 7:00 PM. Mahalo!
Happy Hour Ending: Last call for two-for-one Mai Tais. The sun is setting and so are the prices.
Volcano Warning: Minor eruption detected on the north slope. Volcano Tours are suspended until further notice.

08 Navigation

Carved signs, bamboo-framed menus, and flower-strewn trails to guide the traveler through the island.

09 The Tiki Philosophy

More than a look — a way of seeing the world through carved masks, flickering torches, and the bottom of a ceramic mug.

Escape Is the Point

— A Polynesian Pop Manifesto —

“The South Pacific of the mind”

“Every drink tells a story”

“Darkness is atmosphere”

“The torch is your only guide”

“Carved from fantasy, served in ceramic”

Tiki is not a place. It is an agreement between bartender and guest that, for the next few hours, the rest of the world does not exist. The drinks are strong, the lights are low, and the carved faces on the wall are watching over you.
