The Furrquency brand book

A working guide to how Furrquency looks, sounds, and feels. Use it to keep new pages, partner assets, and outside writing on key.

Mission

Help pets rest, focus, and feel safe through calibrated sound, backed by animal-audiology research and built for the people who love them.

Audience

Curious pet parents who want gentle, science-aware tools. Vet techs, fosters, and trainers looking for a reliable in-home aid.

01 โ€” Color

A calm palette built on terracotta and teal

The default experience is dark: a deep teal-navy canvas with warm sand text and terracotta accents. Light mode flips to cream with deeper terracotta for contrast. Colors are defined as semantic tokens in src/styles.css and should always be referenced by token, never by hex.

02 โ€” Typography

Sora for headlines, Manrope for everything else

Display ยท Sora

Calm sound for calmer pets.

Use Sora for h1โ€“h4, hero copy, and short editorial moments. Always set text-wrap: balance on headings.

Body ยท Manrope

Manrope handles paragraphs, UI labels, and long-form reading. Pairs cleanly with Sora and stays legible at small sizes.

Paragraphs use text-wrap: pretty to prevent single-word orphans.

HUD ยท JetBrains Mono

440.00 HZ ยท CANINE ยท SESSION 03

JetBrains Mono is reserved for HUD chrome: frequency readouts, timecodes, and eyebrow labels. Keep it small, uppercase, and spaced.

03 โ€” Logo

The wordmark and the spinning paw

Furrquency
Usage
  • The paw mark always sits inside a circular sand-colored badge with a dashed inner ring.
  • The "quency" half of the wordmark is set in coral. Never recolor it for decoration.
  • Minimum clear space equals the height of the paw badge on all four sides.
  • Do not stretch, recolor the badge, or set the wordmark in a serif face.
04 โ€” Voice

Calm, curious, never clinical

Write like a thoughtful friend who happens to read veterinary papers. Specific, warm, a little dry. Confident about what the research shows and honest about what it doesn't.

Plain words

Use instead of utilize. Many instead of numerous. Standard contractions. Write to one person.

Concrete, sensory

Describe what the pet hears, what the room feels like, what the timer is counting down. Skip the abstract.

Cite, don't promise

Tie claims to research. Mark exploratory ideas clearly. Never imply Furrquency treats a medical condition.

Leave a little mess

Fragments. Start with And or But. Drop the perfectly balanced list when it would feel automated.

05 โ€” Examples

Say this, not that

On brand

Soft 396 Hz, sub-bass underneath. Most dogs settle within four minutes. Sit nearby, watch their breathing, and stop the session if they get up to leave.

Off brand

Unlock the revolutionary power of frequency therapy! Our seamless platform leverages cutting-edge audio to maximize your pet's wellness journey.

06 โ€” Aesthetic

HUD softness, not sci-fi cold

Rounded panels

1.5rem radius on cards and the audio bar. Generous padding. Layered surfaces over flat blocks.

Duotone photos

Pet photography is desaturated and washed in coral or sage to sit calmly inside the palette.

Calm motion

Breathing scales, gentle pulse rings, equalizer bars. Honor prefers-reduced-motion everywhere.

Monospaced HUD chrome

Eyebrow labels, frequency readouts, and timecodes use uppercase mono with wide tracking.

Fluid type and space

clamp()-based display sizes scale across viewports. No layout should depend on a single breakpoint.

Accessible by default

WCAG 2.1 AA contrast, visible focus rings, 44pt touch targets, semantic HTML on every page.

07 โ€” Don't

A short list of things to avoid

  • Em dashes or en dashes in copy. Use commas or separate sentences.
  • Banned words: game changer, leverage, unleash, dive into, seamless, crucial.
  • Hex values hardcoded in components. Always use semantic tokens.
  • Serif fonts anywhere in product UI.
  • Implying Furrquency diagnoses, treats, or replaces veterinary care.
  • Stretched, recolored, or rotated logo lockups.
