The HyperNatural wordmark is set in Roslindale Text. The Magpie mascot may appear solo, in a lockup with the wordmark, or boxed. Maintain a minimum clearspace equal to 2× the height of the logo. Never place text, UI, or imagery inside that clearspace. Below are the official assets — use these exact URLs in AI generation.

Type hierarchy

HyperNatural uses two families. Roslindale by David Jonathan Ross is the voice of the brand — serif, warm, confident. Calibre is the workhorse — clear, modern, elegant.

H1 · page & hero

Body & UI

Jade cools. Chitin resists odor. Supima feels like cotton should. Recycled spandex adds comfort stretch. No polyester. No chemical finishes that wash out. Just fabric that's better by nature.

font-family: 'Calibre', sans-serif; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.5;

Type rules

  • Use sentence case for all body and marketing copy. Never ALL CAPS headlines.
  • Headlines flush left, rag right. Never justified, rarely centered.
  • One H1 per page (hero). Don't stack multiple serif display weights against each other.
  • H1 and H2 are Roslindale Display Narrow — H1 Bold 700, H2 Medium 500.
  • H3 is Roslindale Text Bold 700 for sub-section titles.
  • H4, H5, H6 are Calibre Bold 700.
  • Body copy is Calibre Regular at 16px (1rem) with 1.5 line height.

How we talk

Elevated but approachable. We're innovators who reject the industry's polyester defaults — but we're not preachy. We lead with product truths, we back them with science, and we leave room for humor ("Nature is fucking cool") when the context calls for it.

Always

  • Use sentence case. Keep sentences short. Favor nouns and verbs over adjectives.
  • Lead with what the product does for the wearer, then explain why.
  • Be specific: "20× more breathable than polyester" not "super breathable."
  • Celebrate materials — jade, crab shells, Supima cotton — with curiosity and pride.
  • Talk about progress openly. Perfection is not the enemy of progress.

Never

  • Greenwash. No vague sustainability claims without proof.
  • Call anything "eco" as if that means sacrifice. Luxury and clean are the default.
  • Use "cheap," "disposable," or "fast fashion" language — even in comparison.
  • Shame the customer. We invite them in; we don't guilt them.
  • Hide behind jargon. If a word needs a glossary, we haven't earned the sentence.

07 · Imagery

Photography direction

Natural light. Real environments. Warm and honest. Never cold, never clinical, never stocky. The subject is the product and the person — not a set.

Always

  • Natural lighting — golden hour, overcast, soft window light.
  • Real environments with patina — wood, concrete, fabric, tile, stone.
  • Attainable, diverse casting. Relaxed poses. Calm gaze.
  • Macro-to-micro: show fabric texture, drape, and stitch detail.
  • Warm neutrals as surface: warm white, cream, charcoal.

Never

  • Cool blue-white studio flash or hard gym lighting.
  • Stock-photo models, over-styled hair, or forced action.
  • Cluttered props, neon accents, or plastic textures.
  • Over-saturated color or heavy filters.
