§ II. Color

Kelly green on porcelain.

One ownable green, used as a signal rather than a fill. Ink carries the buttons and the words. Green marks what's aligned, live, or nearby: an eyebrow, a pulsing dot, one emphasized word. If taking the green away loses no meaning, use ink.

§ III. Typography

Wide display. Warm body.

Four faces, each with one job. Archivo Expanded speaks for the brand, Instrument Serif quotes people, Hanken Grotesk carries the reading, and JetBrains Mono labels the signal. All four are free on Google Fonts.

Tell ALINE what you're looking for: an investor, a client, a cofounder, a hire. It finds the professionals around you who are looking for you too, and puts you in touch while you're still in the same room.

Emphasis
Get aligned.

Green, never italic. An <em> in a headline turns Deep on light and Soft on dark. One or two words, once per headline.

Already here.

The marker underlines a single closing word. Use it once per view, at most.

Alignment out. In seconds.

The muted tail sets a closing aside in Ink Faint so the main claim lands first.

Inside the iOS and Android apps, interface text follows the apps' own type ramp. The four faces above are for the brand: the website, decks, social, press, print, and partner placements.
§ IV. Voice

Short. Specific. Here.

ALINE talks about the person you're about to meet, not the technology that found them. Plain words, present tense, second person.

The tagline
Aligning People. Here.

Title case, two sentences, with the full stop on each. Use it under the lockup, as a sign-off, or on its own. Don't paraphrase it.

The right person is already here.

Mechanics
§ V. Shape & components

Pills, panels, soft corners.

Every action is a capsule. Cards are flat Paper 2, with no border and no shadow. A shadow means something is floating above the page: the phone, a match chip, the QR card.

Buttons · always pills

Primary is Ink, not green, and goes Deep on hover. Ghost is a hairline. On Night, the primary flips to Paper.

On Night

The eyebrow pill carries a pulsing dot; floating chips are frosted Night Card.

App Store Aligning People. Here.
Intent input & chips

Inputs are Paper with a hairline and a soft lift. Suggestion chips are hairline pills in Ink Muted.

§ VI. Signal & motion

Slow pulse. No bounce.

The brand's motifs all say the same thing: someone aligned is nearby, right now. Motion is slow, eased, and optional.

Radar rings

Concentric rings expand from a point and fade, one every 1.25s on a 5s loop. Hairlines in Soft at 28%.

Signal dot

A 6px dot that breathes between full and 35% opacity every 2.4s. It means "live." Pair it with a mono label.

Live intent ticker
Someone nearby is looking fora cofounder who codes.

Real-sounding intents swap every 2.6s with a short fade and rise. Concrete, lowercase, ends with a period.

Know who is aligned before walking over.

01
How we shoot and crop
  • Real rooms, real crowds. Conferences, coffee shops, parks, after-work runs. Candid, never posed at the camera.
  • Slightly quiet color. Saturation 88%, contrast 102%, so green stays the loudest thing on the page.
  • A scrim, not a box. Copy sits bottom-left in Night Text over a gradient that falls to 90% near-black.
  • 16:10 frames at 20px radius, with a mono index number bottom-right.
§ VII. Icons

One icon. No emoji.

App icon
ALINE app icon

The shipped icon: the two-tone mark on black. Work from the 1024×1024 master. Don't round the corners yourself; iOS and Android apply their own mask. Never put the wordmark or lockup on the icon.

Interface icons

On the web, use single-color line or solid glyphs drawn in currentColor, sized 18-22px beside text. In the iOS app, use SF Symbols. Zero emoji, anywhere.

The angular A can stand alone as a brand glyph in empty states and loaders, always in its two tones.
