A practical mark
for practical AI.

Tús is Irish for beginning. This is the single source of truth for our identity. Built for press, partners, and the people we work with every day. No hype, no decoration that does not earn its keep. Just the system, in full.

§ 02 · Colour system

Bog, moss,
and a little clay.

A grounded, Irish-landscape palette. Bog runs the structure and the type. Moss is the considered accent. Interactive elements, emphasis, and our editorial voice. Clay is the warmer signal. Campaigns, alerts, and moments that need to feel human.

Bog

Neutral scale, warm-shifted. Use 900 for type, 200 for hairlines, 50 for canvas. Never pure black, never pure white.

Moss

Our primary accent. Replaces the previous emerald. Quieter, more grown, more Irish. Use 600 for buttons and links, 50 for tinted surfaces.

§ 03 · Typography

Editorial

Two faces from Google Fonts, plus a mono. Instrument Serif gives us editorial weight without going period. Geist handles every working surface. Geist Mono labels the system.

§ 04 · Voice & writing

Plain, practical,
no hype.

We sell calm. The writing sounds like a competent person across the table from a busy small-business owner. Not a SaaS landing page, not a futurist, not a consultancy deck. Irish English throughout. Short sentences. Concrete examples.

01

Outcomes, not tools.

Lead with what changes for the business. "Quote turnaround drops from 3 days to 20 minutes" beats "powered by GPT-4o". Name the workflow before the technology.

02

Short sentences. Full stops.

No em dashes. No semicolons where a full stop would do. If a sentence can be split, split it. Plain words over clever ones, every time.

03

Irish English, always.

Colour, organisation, behaviour, recognise, analyse. Use Irish examples. Co. Cork, VAT, Revenue, the LEO network. Avoid American spellings even in code comments.

04

Concrete over abstract.

"A solicitor's office drowning in intake forms" lands. "AI-powered legal workflow optimisation" doesn't. Name the trade, the role, the document, the hour of the day if it helps.

05

Honest about scope.

Say what we don't do as readily as what we do. We don't train foundation models. We don't replace your accountant. We're not going to magically read a 200-page contract for you.

06

Built once, owned forever.

Our economic proposition shows up in the writing. Per-project, not per-seat. Practical, not subscription-shaped. Say it plainly when it's relevant.

Say this, not that
Say Don't say Quote turnaround dropped from 3 days to 20 minutes. 10x your quote generation velocity with GenAI. A custom tool for your team, owned by your business. An end-to-end AI-powered SaaS platform. We start with a paid audit. No free pitches. Book a free strategy call to unlock your potential. It runs on your stack. No per-seat fees. Cutting-edge cloud-native AI orchestration layer. Built for Irish SMEs. Based in Kinsale. Empowering global enterprises with bleeding-edge AI.

Radius

Brand surfaces are unrounded. UI surfaces use a 2px radius. Hero photography and slide artwork have no radius.

--radius-ui: 2px;
Spacing

8-point grid. Section padding is 96px desktop, 64px tablet, 48px mobile. Inner padding uses an 8 / 16 / 24 / 32 / 48 / 64 / 96 ramp.

--space-section: 96px;
Motion

Quiet. 180 to 240ms standard ease, no bounce. We do not animate type weight or letter-spacing. Hover states shift opacity or position, not colour.

--ease-quiet: cubic-bezier(.2,.6,.2,1);
A practical mark for practical AI.

The full Tús AI logo family. Outlined Instrument Serif paths, so the files render identically on any host, whether the font is installed or not.
