The brand positions itself at the intersection of craft, simplicity, and aspiration — every surface is engineered to feel effortless. Visual identity is defined by generous negative space, high-contrast product photography, and near-zero ornamentation.\n\n## 02 Color Palette\n```\n- name: canvas\n  role: bg\n  hex:   #ffffff\n```\n```\n- name: ink\n  role: subject\n  hex:   #333336\n```\n```\n- name: primary\n  role: accent\n  hex:   #0071e3\n```\n```\n- name: secondary\n  role: highlight\n  hex:   #0066cc\n```\n```\n- name: link\n  role: surface\n  hex:   #2997ff\n```\n\n## 03 Typography\n- Primary (display): `'SF Pro Display', -apple-system, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif — headlines and product names, tight tracking, semibold weights.`\n- Secondary (body): `'SF Pro Text', -apple-system, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif — running prose, captions, availability lines.`\n- Mono (metadata): `'SF Mono', ui-monospace, 'Menlo', monospace — spec numerics, pricing, footnote references.`\n\n## 04 Voice\n\n### Values\n\"Technology at its best when it disappears — powerful, personal, and effortless to use.\"\n\n### Aesthetic\nMonochromatic precision, editorial restraint, high-contrast product focus, cinematic negative space, minimalist clarity\n\n### Tone of Voice\nConfident, concise, warm, aspirational\n\n## 08 Imagery\n- Studio product photography as hero: single device, dramatic lighting, seamless white or black seamless background.\n- Editorial lifestyle for services (Apple TV+, AirPods) — cinematic, human, saturated stills used as tile backgrounds.\n- Reflections and subtle floor shadows under floating hardware; no clutter or props.\n- Avoid stock-photo staging, busy environments, or heavy post-processing filters.\n\n## 13 Products\n- Mac (product)\n- iPad (product)\n- iPhone: iPhone Duo (product) ![iPhone](https://etwhuyi1q7c9vmmr.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/brands/refresh/rpDaUkkQ/product-mu35c8yx-3.jpg)\n- Apple Watch: Apple Watch Series 12 (product) ![Apple Watch](https://etwhuyi1q7c9vmmr.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/brands/refresh/rpDaUkkQ/product-mu35c9d5-4.jpg)\n- AirPods: AirPods 5 (product) ![AirPods](https://etwhuyi1q7c9vmmr.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/brands/refresh/rpDaUkkQ/product-mu35c9hz-5.jpg)\n- Apple Vision Pro (product)\n- Accessories (product)\n\n## 14 Rules\n- Retail and environments: the brand lives in the architecture — floor-to-ceiling glass, stone, timber and brushed steel. Brand presence is on the glass itself: a small backlit or etched Apple logo on the glazing, launch graphics applied to or behind the glass.\n- Never put signage on the building exterior: no facade-mounted signs, channel letters, blade signs, or logo lightboxes above the entrance.\n- Never put product images, screens or launch graphics on the facade or the upper part of the storefront — products are shown inside, on the tables, visible through the glass.\n- No sidewalk A-frames, banners, posters stuck to walls, or menu-board style product lists.\n- Store interiors: long light-oak tables, open space, soft even light; the architecture is the display.\n"}
