Usage Guidelines

Clear Space

Maintain minimum clear space equal to the height of the "f" in "futures" on all sides.

Minimum Size

Digital: 120px width minimum. Print: 25mm width minimum. Icon mark: 32px minimum.

Don'ts

Never rotate, stretch, recolor, or add effects. Don't place on busy backgrounds without sufficient contrast.

Design Principles

1

Clarity over decoration

Every element earns its place. We strip away the unnecessary to let the essential shine through. If it doesn't serve the user, it doesn't belong.

2

Warmth in precision

Technical excellence feels approachable. We combine rigorous craft with human warmth, making complex technology feel inviting and understandable.

3

Trust through craft

Quality details signal reliability. Consistent spacing, considered typography, and polished interactions tell users they can trust what we build.

4

Boldness in restraint

Gold stands out because we use it sparingly. Our accent colors have impact precisely because they're reserved for moments that matter.
