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.

Descriptive Icons (Brand)

  • Grid: 21px
  • Style: Subtle branding, basic geometry, hard corners
  • Color: Single color only. No gradients or tints

Functional Icons (UI)

  • Grid: 24px
  • Style: Minimal detail for high legibility at small sizes
  • Stroke: Single weight of 3px

Status Colors

  • Red: Negative actions/errors
  • Acid Green: Affirmative actions/success

6. Imagery

Studio Portraits

  • Style: Graphic, stylized, solid brand-color backgrounds
  • Lighting: Soft, diffused, natural temperature. No harsh shadows or colored gels
  • Framing: Centered, eye-level. Space above head for cropping. No hands in shot

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
