Rules of thumb
- 01No exclamation points. Ever.
- 02Periods over ellipses. Confidence over suggestion.
- 03Name the material, the place, the maker. Specifics are luxury.
- 04If you can cut a word, cut it. Then cut another.
- 05Lowercase by default in body. Title Case in product names. ALL CAPS reserved for labels and the wordmark.
- 06Numerals over spelled-out numbers in product copy (2-ply, 12-gauge, 100% cashmere).
