Text Legibility (WCAG Guidelines)¶
Darker colors are generally text-safe on lighter backgrounds. Refer to the specific pairing chart for compliance.
- Safe Example: Infra Violette text on Midnight Gray background
- Safe Example: Red text on Forest Green background
4. Layout: The Canvas¶
The visual identity uses a modular grid system called "The Canvas," composed of triangles, rectangles, and circles.
- Grid Logic: Layouts are created by cropping the canvas
- Scalability: Shapes can be stretched or compressed, but curved shapes (circles/arches) must not be distorted; anchors must be moved manually to preserve curve integrity
Usage¶
- Helpful: Zoomed in to simple shapes for functional UI backgrounds
- Personal: Single tiles to frame content or products
- Communal: Full canvas for expressive branding
5. Iconography¶
Icons are geometric, built on a grid, and avoid beveled edges.

Functional Icons (UI)¶

Studio Portraits¶
- Style: Graphic, stylized, solid brand-color backgrounds

Documentary Style¶
- Style: Authentic, "real people" in native environments
- Subject: Focus on community stories. Do not show people using phones or products
7. Motion & Interaction¶
Motion is derived from the behavior of the canvas shapes.
- Triangle: Stretch / Slide / Snap
- Circle: Zoom / Scale / Shrink & Expand
- Rectangle: Slide / Zoom / Pop
Web Animation Levels¶
- Micro (UI): Subtle gestures for feedback (e.g., icons scaling, buttons popping)
- Core (Transitions): Page transitions and text reveals using sliding masks
- Macro (Brand): Full canvas animations for loading screens or hero sections
8. Localization¶
- Expressive: Use localized photography and illustrations to connect culturally
- Helpful: Use neutral colors and standard typography for clarity
- Flags: Use flag icons for functional selection. Do not recolor flags with brand colors
