Let's add this to a new template? v7?

I like some of the typographic features of the old michelin guides:

Guide Michelin, 1908 Michelin guide to the British Isles, 1913 Guide Michelin, 1900

Also, would like to use the IBM plex family for something

Michelin's pretty nice.

I think a serif with heavy vertical weight for the names might be nice. Your current design isn't far off...
