Pynk Nymph · Brand Guidelines · 202604 / 23

Principles.

Three rules that keep the brand honest. They show up in copy, color, type, and behavior — every time.

01 / Principle

Inclusive by default.

Pynk Nymph is for every body. Photography, language, and visuals reflect a wide range of identities — never an idealized fraction.

02 / Principle

Bold, with care.

Confident, expressive, and a little mischievous — but the warmth and craft underneath always lead. Personality without volume for its own sake.

03 / Principle

Clarity wins.

If a line is hard to read, it's wrong. We choose plain words, generous space, and high contrast — every time.

01 / Introduction05 / 23
01 / Introduction · Voice

Speak like
a friend who
tells the truth.

Direct, warm, a little funny. Never clinical, never apologetic. We use plain words, contractions, and the occasional well-placed "ass."

In a headline "Get your ass waxed."
In a confirmation "You're booked. We'll see you Saturday."
In a reminder "Stay on cadence — your pricing rewards you for it."

Logo &
identity.

Three lockups. One voice. Built to flex.

Pynk Nymph · Brand Guidelines · 202607 / 23

Lockups.

The Pynk Nymph identity is a hand-drawn liquid letterform — friendly, mischievous, and unmistakable. Three primary lockups; a tiny family of accents.

Clear space.

Maintain at least one full P-height of clear space around the logo. Don't crowd it. Don't shrink it. Don't recolor it outside the system.

Color.

A loud palette earning quiet rules.

Two neutrals. Two greens. Two pinks. Two warms. Every brand moment lives somewhere on this grid.

Application.

Color should escalate with importance — not appear all at once. Start neutral. Add structure. Finish with emphasis.

Section 04

Typography.

Expressive serif. Grounded sans. Structural mono. Three jobs.

Pynk Nymph · Brand Guidelines · 202614 / 23

Type system.

Fraunces sets the tone. DM Mono carries the brand. DM Sans does the heavy lifting where it has to read.

Use this for · Headlines & big moments

Fraunces.

Use for big text only — post headlines, taglines, hero moments. Never for paragraphs or small text.

Aa
Use this for · Labels, captions & brand accents

DM Mono

Use for short structural text — pillar labels, post captions, callouts, slide numbers. This is what makes it feel like Pynk Nymph.

Aa
Use this for · Body text & documents

DM Sans

Use when readability matters most — long captions, emails, policy text, anything people actually read line by line.

Aa
When in doubt Fraunces for the hook · DM Mono for the label · DM Sans for the explanation.

Hierarchy.

Three styles max in any single layout. Build hierarchy with scale, not decoration.

Do's & Don'ts.

If a line is hard to read, it's wrong. Lead with clarity — always.

Do

  • Use display type at large, airy sizes.Let Fraunces breathe — it's not for paragraphs.
  • Treat DM Mono as a brand accent.Labels, callouts, structural details — it's a vibe.
  • Keep DM Sans clean and consistent.Same size, same weight, comfortable line height.
  • Build hierarchy with scale, not decoration.Bigger before bolder. Color before italic.

×Avoid

  • Long paragraphs in Fraunces.Display type is not body type. Keep it to one line.
  • ALL CAPS in DM Sans body.Caps belong to DM Mono accents, not running text.
  • Mixing weights or sizes in one block.Pick one and commit. Visual noise reads as panic.
  • Italic for emphasis in body copy.Use weight, color, or scale. Not italic.

Section 05

Imagery.

Real bodies. Playful illustration. Mascot energy.

Pynk Nymph · Brand Guidelines · 202618 / 23

Photography.

Real bodies, real texture, real comfort. Warm, human, approachable — never staged or clinical. Lighting feels natural or softly directional.

Capture.

Real skin, real texture Natural or softly directional light Diverse bodies and identities Lived-in, comfortable moments

Avoid.

Over-retouched, plastic finishes Harsh clinical lighting Generic luxury spa stock Performed or stiff posing
05 / Imagery · Photography19 / 23
05 / Imagery · Illustration & mascot

Recurring motifs.

Illustration carries the playful, slightly mischievous energy. These motifs and the mascot are part of the Pynk Nymph visual language. Use them as accents — not as the main focus of a design. All assets are stored in the Pynk Nymph Canva Brand Kit and the Off Hours client asset library. Pull from there — do not recreate from scratch.

Cactus

Post corners, section dividers, story backgrounds, spot illustration.

Splat / Slime

Energy accents, promo posts, bold emphasis moments.

Sparkle

Subtle accents, testimonial posts, soft editorial moments.

Diamond

Brand mark accent, pillar labels, section openers, running footer.

◆ All motifs are pre-loaded in your Canva brand kit. Drag and drop — no redesigning needed.
◆ Bootynymph · The mascot

Slightly feral.
Always charming.

Pynk Nymph mascot peeking

The flat, expressive Pynk Nymph mascot is the visual heart of our personality. Use her where playfulness earns its place. Avoid using her where clarity has to lead.
