Usage Guidelines

The principles that keep the VAUX identity consistent across every touchpoint.

S

Spacing

Use an 8px base grid. All spacing values are multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96. Never use arbitrary values.

Photography

Use high-contrast black and white photography, or desaturated images with a warm tone overlay. Avoid bright, saturated stock photos.

Hierarchy

One dominant element per composition. Use scale, weight, and the gold accent to guide the eye. Never compete for attention.

Gold Accent

The gold (#B8860B) is used sparingly — maximum 10% of any composition. It marks the most important element: a rule, a word, a border.

Voice & Tone

Confident, concise, never verbose. Short sentences. Active voice. Avoid jargon. The brand speaks like a trusted expert, not a salesperson.

Layout

Asymmetry is intentional. Break the grid with purpose. Use generous white space as a design element, not empty space to fill.
