Brand Rules

Dos & Don'ts

Do

  • Use Helvetica Now Display Medium (500) or Nike Futura ND (500) for all headings, strictly in sentence-case.
  • Use Helvetica Now Text (400 or 500) for body copy, maintaining a fixed line-height of 28px for readability.
  • Style primary buttons with a solid #111111 background and white text, using 0px border-radius for sharp, aggressive corners.
  • Style secondary/outline buttons with a #ffffff background, #111111 text, and a 1px #111111 border, maintaining 0px border-radius.
  • Apply a strict flat design aesthetic: absolutely no box-shadows, gradients, or depth effects on any UI element.
  • Utilize the primary color #111111 for all text and borders, ensuring high contrast against the #ffffff background.
  • Keep copy concise and punchy, using short imperative commands or noun phrases (e.g., 'Just Do It') without emojis or exclamations.
  • Use the accent color #ffabad sparingly for highlights or specific interactive states, but do not let it dominate the monochrome palette.

Don't

  • Do not use title case for headings; always use sentence-case to maintain a modern, editorial tone.
  • Do not use serif fonts; the brand is exclusively sans-serif (Helvetica/Nike Futura families).
  • Do not apply any box-shadows or drop-shadows to buttons, cards, or navigation elements.
  • Do not use gradients or translucent backgrounds; all surfaces must be solid colors.
  • Do not use emojis, exclamation marks, or playful punctuation in marketing copy.
  • Do not use rounded corners (border-radius > 0px) for buttons or primary UI containers; keep them sharp (0px).
  • Do not use complex jargon; keep vocabulary simple and accessible to a global audience.
  • Do not use the accent color #ffabad as a primary background for large sections; reserve it for small accents.
