CloudNexis · Draft B composition
Same layout, type scale and motion. What changes is the palette, the display face, and therefore what world the brand belongs to.
Light warm ground, the register of a printed annual report. Institutional and expensive without touching a tech cliché. Oxblood is the colour of ledgers and law libraries.
Bricolage Grotesque · Switzer · IBM Plex Mono
Near-black green rather than neutral black. Warmer and older; brass reads as machined metal, not a glowing UI accent.
Host Grotesk · Switzer · Roboto Mono
Monochrome with a serif display. No accent hue except in state; the tension comes entirely from type contrast. Hardest to fake, least likely to date.
Instrument Serif · Switzer · IBM Plex Mono
Desaturated blue-slate instead of black, with a hot orange. Industrial control-room rather than AI startup; orange is the safety colour of heavy equipment.
