Giant red serif letters spelling MOM on a diagonal

The background is flat pure white with no imagery. Crimson-red high-contrast serif letters are cropped at huge scale and staggered down a diagonal, so the thin and thick strokes overlap and interlock. The focal point is where the round centre letter crosses its neighbours, and a slim vertical gap breaks one stroke to fit the small dark-grey greeting. The finish is flat, editorial and poster-like.

Layout: Three huge overlapping letters step diagonally from top-left to bottom-right and bleed off the edges. A tiny rotated greeting line runs vertically through a gap cut into the middle of the design, with generous white space in the other two corners.
Typography: Oversized high-contrast Didone-style serif caps in red; tiny thin, widely spaced grotesque sans for the greeting, rotated 90°.

Design an original Mother's Day Instagram post for my brand, following the art direction below. It describes a reference design in full, so you don't need to see the reference.

My brand: [my brand], [what my business sells].
Language for any text on the design: English.
Size: 1080 × 1080 px (Instagram square).

Art direction to follow:
- The idea: Giant red serif letters spelling MOM on a diagonal.
- Look and feel: The background is flat pure white with no imagery. Crimson-red high-contrast serif letters are cropped at huge scale and staggered down a diagonal, so the thin and thick strokes overlap and interlock. The focal point is where the round centre letter crosses its neighbours, and a slim vertical gap breaks one stroke to fit the small dark-grey greeting. The finish is flat, editorial and poster-like.
- Layout: Three huge overlapping letters step diagonally from top-left to bottom-right and bleed off the edges. A tiny rotated greeting line runs vertically through a gap cut into the middle of the design, with generous white space in the other two corners.
- Typography: Oversized high-contrast Didone-style serif caps in red; tiny thin, widely spaced grotesque sans for the greeting, rotated 90°.
- Colours: #ffffff, #be2624, #f5eaea, #de9b9b, #ca5453, #e7b8b7 (background #ffffff, text #be2624, accent #ca5453).
- Mood and details: elegant, bold, warm, oversized letterforms, diagonal type.
- Reference image, only if you can open it: https://media.uidiscovery.com/captures/creatives/9851692934801727-adc848768d37.jpg (if you can't, carry on from these notes; don't ask me for it).

Rules:
- Build the same kind of idea around [my brand]: make my product or service the hero, the way the reference does. Don't copy its artwork, people, products, logo or text.
- Leave a clean space for my logo. Never invent a logo, prices, phone numbers or claims.
- One strong idea, few words, and text large enough to read on a phone.

Before you design, ask me for my brand name and what my business sells. Then create the image.
