Brand guidelines · v1.0

The quiet confidence of a wellness platform.

Kaivros sits at the intersection of digital calm and physical presence. Lilla is the soul, cream the breath, orange the pulse. This is the single source of truth for every mark, color, word and pixel we ship.

What Kaivros stands for

Our brand lives in the pause before a session, in the warmth of a cream surface, in the clarity of a single sentence. Think: a spa that publishes API docs.

Calm

Soft, never sterile. Warm cream surfaces replace pure white. Transitions are slow (0.2s), never snappy.

Confident

Professional without pretense. We say what things do, in sentence case, without exclamation marks.

Bilingual

English-forward with Italian heritage. "Corpo · Testo · Leggibilità" sits comfortably next to "Brand Identity".

Three tiers, one mood

Primary lilla sets the emotional register. Violet grounds it. Orange and supporting hues add warmth, sparingly.

Three families, strict roles

Bricolage Grotesque has character — reserve it for logo and display. Outfit carries the interface. Noto Sans reads the body.

Today's reflection

A short prompt to ease into the session. Sentence case, second person, declarative.

How Kaivros sounds

Bilingual, casual-professional, second-person. Wellness-adjacent without being woo-woo. Specific over clever.

Sentence case, always

Headings and buttons feel like speech — not marketing shouting.

"Start session" — not "START SESSION"

Second person

Warm, direct, addressed to one reader. "You" and "tu" freely.

"Your sessions, arranged."

Short, declarative

Verbs over nouns. Specific over abstract. Trust the reader.

"Start your session." — not "Session initialization."

No emoji, no hype

Type and color carry the emotional tone. No exclamation marks, no "Let's go!".

"Ready when you are."

Middle-dot rhythm

Use · to pair concepts: "Corpo · Testo · Leggibilità".

"Logo · Titoli accent"

Bilingual, unapologetically

Italian and English coexist. Don't translate "Kaivros". Let warmth carry across languages.

"Your sessions · Le tue sedute"

Take it with you

Logo files, fonts, tokens. Everything you need to ship something that feels like Kaivros.
