Create a finished extra-wide horizontal shop sign, 21:9 ratio, photographed straight-on with a slight tangible depth. A dark walnut wood frame encloses a warm aged-cream painted panel, visibly worn at edges with fine wood grain, pale foxing freckles, tiny nail heads, and a shallow central letterpress panel. Centered composition with generous side margins. Render the exact text, with no additional words: Small top line: “MERCER & SONS” Dominant center headline: “HARDWARE” Small bottom line: “TOOLS · FASTENERS · SUPPLIES” Bottom micro-line: “EST. 1912” “HARDWARE” occupies 68% of the sign width. Custom Art Nouveau lettering, not a standard font: tall condensed display capitals formed from living botanical stems; vertical strokes swell subtly through curves, crossbars bow softly, joints have hand-drawn plant asymmetry, and each outer terminal resolves into a restrained curling vine flourish. Deep forest-green pressed ink is physically bitten into the cream panel with a crisp recessed edge, slight ink breakup, minute speckling, and a satin ink sheen that reveals thin amber highlights along the curved letter contours. Keep the word fully readable at distance. “MERCER & SONS,” “TOOLS · FASTENERS · SUPPLIES,” and “EST. 1912” are smaller faded navy heritage serif ink, evenly tracked. Two thin antique-gold pinstripe rules sit above and below the headline, interrupted by small symmetrical leaf ornaments. Low warm amber raking light from upper left reveals the ink impression and frame grain; subtle shadow in letter recesses, faint airborne dust, muted cream, sepia, forest green, navy, walnut brown, antique gold. Authentic aged sign-painter and letterpress craft, no neon, no modern storefront, no people, no mockup hands, no extra logos.
