Sweater

Brand Guidelines

How we look and sound

A single source of truth for the Sweater identity — the logo, the palette anchored on the espresso tile, the type pairing, and the spacing rhythm that ties it all together.

01

Logo

The lockup is a rounded espresso tile carrying a white double-chevron knit mark, paired with the Cormorant Garamond wordmark — a single semibold "Sweater". An optional tagline, weather, worn well, may sit beneath the wordmark in muted italic. The mark and wordmark are always lockup-together except where the mark stands alone as an app icon.

Lockup — smSweater
Lockup — md (default header)Sweater
Lockup — lgSweater
Lockup — lg with taglineSweaterweather, worn well
Mark only (favicon / app icon)

Do

  • Use <BrandLogo /> and <BrandMark /> — never re-create the SVG inline.
  • Keep clear space around the lockup equal to the tile's height.
  • Use the mark-only tile for favicons, app icons, and avatars.

Don't

  • Don't change the tile color, radius, or chevron glyph.
  • Don't substitute the wordmark font or set both words italic.
  • Don't place the lockup on a busy photo without a contrast scrim.

SVGs are vector (resolution-independent). Lockup SVGs reference Cormorant Garamond — install the font, or use the PNGs for portable sharing.

02

Color palette

Six tokens anchored on the espresso logo tile. Use the CSS custom properties (or the equivalent Tailwind brand-* classes) — never hard-code hex values in components.

03

Typography

Three roles, three faces. Cormorant Garamond is the brand voice (wordmark only). Fraunces carries editorial display copy. Inter is the workhorse for UI and body text.

Brand — Cormorant Garamond 600 / 500 italic

--font-brand
Sweaterweather, worn well

Display — Fraunces 500

--font-serif
Open-window, easy-sleeve weather.

Body / UI — Inter 400

--font-sans
The sweet spot. One light layer, no commitments.

Do

  • Use Cormorant only for the wordmark and brand-voice headings on marketing pages.
  • Use Fraunces for editorial display copy (hero headlines, section openers).
  • Use Inter for all body, labels, buttons, and form copy.

Don't

  • Don't set body text in Cormorant — it's a display face.
  • Don't italicize both words of the wordmark.
  • Don't introduce a fourth font without updating these guidelines.
04

Spacing

We use Tailwind's 4px base scale. These are the rungs we lean on the most — match them rather than inventing new gaps.

2
8px
Tight inline gaps (chips, badges)
3
12px
Logo lockup gap, icon + label
4
16px
Default component padding
6
24px
Section inner padding, header pad-x
8
32px
Vertical rhythm between blocks
12
48px
Section vertical rhythm
16
64px
Major section separators

Do

  • Stick to multiples of 4px (Tailwind's spacing scale).
  • Use space-y-12 between major content sections.
  • Pair the logo with 12px gap (gap-3) at default size.

Don't

  • Don't invent odd pixel values (e.g. 13px, 27px).
  • Don't crowd the lockup — keep at least one tile-height of clear space.
Tokens live in src/styles.css. The logo component lives in src/components/BrandLogo.tsx. Update both — and this page — when the system changes.
