Brand Tone

aspirational, passionate, and edgy

Brand Values

• •Passion
• •Community
• •Quality
• •Self-Expression
• •Authenticity

Best Practices

• •Speak the Language: Consistently use terminology and slang that is authentic to the car community (e.g., JDM, stance, touge, build). This builds credibility and connection.
• •Focus on Why, Not Just What: Instead of just describing a T-shirt, describe the feeling of community at a car meet or the passion behind a car build. Sell the lifestyle, not just the product.
• •Maintain a Cool, Confident Tone: The copy should be confident but not arrogant. It should feel inclusive to all enthusiasts while maintaining an in-the-know edge.
• •Use Storytelling: Share the stories behind the designs. Was a shirt inspired by a specific legendary car? A famous racetrack? A particular era of motorsport? These narratives add depth and value to the products.
• •Visual and Textual Synergy: Ensure the tone of the copy always matches the mood of the visuals. Dark, moody photography should be paired with aspirational and evocative copy. The text should enhance the story the image is telling.
