Brand Values

• •Championing Independence
• •Cultural Curation
• •Accessibility
• •Quality & Aesthetics
• •Community & Connection

Best Practices

• •Focus on "Discovery" and "Insight": Use language that suggests the uncovering of unique perspectives, hidden gems, and profound knowledge. Avoid overly mainstream or generic terms.
• •Emphasize Quality and Craft: When describing publications, subtly allude to their design, materiality, and the thought behind their creation. Words like "meticulously," "thoughtfully curated," "essential," and "significant" can be effective.
• •Speak to an Informed Audience: Assume a level of familiarity with art, design, and cultural theory, but remain accessible. Avoid jargon where clearer language suffices, but don't shy away from specific terminology when appropriate.
• •Maintain a Clean and Considered Aesthetic in Visuals and Text Layout: Just as their brand identity is rooted in simplicity and functionality, ensure that all copy is presented clearly, concisely, and with an eye for design, even in text-only formats.
• •Be a Conduit, Not Just a Seller: Position the brand as a knowledgeable guide and supporter of the independent publishing ecosystem. Highlight the publishers and creators as much as the products themselves, reinforcing the values of collaboration and championing unique voices.
