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.
One wordmark.
Three voices.
The wordmark is set in Instrument Serif with an italic AI tail. A single typographic gesture that says thoughtful first, technical second. The standalone T· mark carries the same dot accent and is used wherever space is tight.
Reserve a margin equal to the height of the cap T on every side. Do not crowd it with other marks, photos, or rules.
Below these sizes the dot accent disappears and legibility fails. Use the T· mark instead.
Where the mark lives
at small sizes.
The same circular T monogram, rasterised for browser tabs, iOS home screens, social profiles, and link previews. Download whichever variant fits the surface.
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.Clay
Warm support. Use sparingly. Campaign covers, callouts, and the occasional pull-quote. Never the primary CTA.Allowed pairings
A short list of foreground / background combinations we permit. Anything outside this list goes to design review.Editorial
meets engineering.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The system,
in code.

} Brand surfaces are unrounded. UI surfaces use a 2px radius. Hero photography and slide artwork have no radius.
8-point grid. Section padding is 96px desktop, 64px tablet, 48px mobile. Inner padding uses an 8 / 16 / 24 / 32 / 48 / 64 / 96 ramp.
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.
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.
