A cleaner identity system
A compact set of rules, colors, type choices, and logo behavior built for a market-intelligence publication.
Logo, type, palette, and voice
The brand system pairs a high-contrast serif headline voice with a disciplined sans body, a paper background, and one clear teal action color. It is built to read as editorial rather than promotional.
Use the full wordmark in the header and footer. Use the icon on favicon, social crops, and small UI placements where the wordmark would become unreadable.

Base background and soft surfaces
Say what the market is doing, then move on.
Keep the tone measured and avoid hype.
Every page should point to the next useful step.
Identity principle
The brand should feel like a briefing desk: organized, current, and easy to trust on mobile or desktop.
Logo usage
Use the mark and wordmark together in the header, then fall back to the mark for favicon and social crops.
Layout language
Keep the archive searchable, the cards compact, and the whitespace generous enough to let the content breathe.
Imagery
Use the branded placeholder when a post has no featured image; keep images neutral and informative.
