Brand Tone

Aspirational, Minimalist, and Encouraging

Brand Values

• •Quality
• •Sustainability
• •Simplicity
• •Self-Improvement

Best Practices

• •Lead with "Why," Not Just "What": Always connect the product features (the "what") to the brand's core values (the "why"). Instead of just saying "100% Cotton T-Shirt," say "Crafted from 100% cotton for enduring comfort on your longest journeys."
• •Use Aspirational and Encouraging Language: Employ verbs and phrases that inspire action and self-improvement, such as "overcome," "pursue," "go further," and "be proud."
• •Emphasize Durability and Timelessness: Consistently use keywords like "made to last," "timeless," "durable," and "essential" to reinforce the brand's promise of quality and longevity.
• •Maintain a Minimalist Voice: Keep sentences clear, concise, and purposeful. Avoid overly complex or trendy slang that could detract from the brand's serious and conservative aesthetic.
• •Incorporate the Nordic Spirit: Subtly reference themes of nature, freedom, simplicity, and adventure. This reinforces the brand name and identity without needing to be overly literal. Use phrases like "Your daily expedition" or "Find your true north."
