Body text

Professional, readable, and calm on smaller screens

Primary: `Aptos`, falling back to `Segoe UI`, `Helvetica Neue`, and `Arial` for strong cross-device readability.

5. Icon style

Minimal line icons with corporate geometry

Icons should use clean outlines, calm proportions, and familiar compliance motifs such as documents, checklists, folders, and governance paths.

6. Photography direction

Commercially credible, discreet, and grounded in real work

  • Boardroom tables, document folders, pens, and laptops in calm office settings
  • Colombo skyline or business district imagery used sparingly and elegantly
  • Hands reviewing papers or meeting notes rather than exaggerated team posing
  • Neutral tones, natural light, glass, timber, navy, and charcoal environments
7. Graphic illustration style

Diagram-led and minimal, not decorative or cartoonish

  • Abstract document layers, boardroom table forms, and compliance path diagrams
  • Navy-to-teal gradients with restrained gold line accents
  • Subtle frames, grids, and structured spacing
  • No mascots, cartoons, or informal startup-style drawings
8. Brand voice

Helpful, accurate, and never exaggerated

The tone should reduce uncertainty, demonstrate care, and avoid overclaiming. This is a calm professional advisory voice, not a sales-led one.
