Logo & Mark
- Set the wordmark in Great Vibes, ~400 weight, never substituted.
- Keep one aperture-height of clearspace on all sides.
- Use cream or reversed ink. Let the wordmark stand alone.
- Re-letter, slant, or outline the script wordmark.
- Add green or the old navy SaaS palette anywhere.
- Crowd the mark with badges, taglines, or borders.
Color
- Default to cream and ink. Add blush sparingly, like a signature.
- Keep card surfaces warm paper, never pure white.
- Hold the watercolor warmth across every surface.
- Use blush as a fill behind long copy.
- Introduce green, navy, or electric blue.
- Open new accents. The palette is closed.
Typography
Voice & Tone
Quiet, not loud.
Confidence is calm. We never shout, never hype, never use urgency to push.
Made, not mass.
Everything reads handmade and considered. Craft is the brand.
Warm, not cold.
Soft cream, blush, and serif warmth. The house feels human, not corporate.
Lasting, not trend.
Built to last. We design for years, not for a launch week.
- Lead with the work, let it speak plainly.
- Use short, warm, declarative lines.
- Keep the tagline intact: Digital at heart. Physical by design.
- Use hype, countdowns, or growth-hacking language.
- Name internal projects or real people on brand surfaces.
- Drift into startup or SaaS tone.
Elements
Worlds in glass
Every body of work is a world inside its own globe. The globe is the house signature motif.
Sparse, warm snow
A light, slow snowfall over warm grounds. Never heavy, never cold blue.
Aged-paper grain
A faint paper texture under surfaces gives the warmth of something printed and kept.
Blush progress line
A thin blush rule marks scroll and section. The only place blush runs long.
The aperture mark
A blush-ringed aperture: looking into a world. Use as favicon, seal, and section mark.
Quiet by default
If it is decorative, remove it. The house earns trust by feeling considered, not busy.
