Brand guidelines.

How AUTZU looks, sounds, and operates across web, product, sales, investor, and recruitment surfaces. Built from the approved design direction: official wordmark, white/gray visual system, dark CTAs, realistic hub imagery, no legacy blue accents.

01 · Foundation

The operating layer for autonomous mobility.

AUTZU builds and operates the infrastructure layer that powers autonomous mobility at scale: the physical hubs, robotics, fleet operations, software, charging, maintenance, calibration, and dispatch infrastructure that makes autonomous fleets reliable, available, and safe.

Brand principles
  • Infrastructure-first
    Lead with hubs, uptime, operations, systems. Avoid pure software-only framing.
  • Real, not speculative
    Realistic photography and architectural visualization. No cartoon robotics or sci-fi exaggeration.
  • Autonomy-ready
    Show maintenance, sensor calibration, robotics, GPU testing, dispatch, fleet visibility.
  • Minimal and premium
    Restrained layouts, white space, limited copy, dark CTAs, subtle gray structure.
  • Agnostic and scalable
    Neutral and partner-ready. Avoid implying exclusivity to a single OEM.
Audience
  • Tier 1
    Autonomous partners
    OEMs, AV companies, rideshare networks, robotics and compute partners. Signal credible infrastructure capacity and operational reliability.
  • Tier 2
    Capital partners
    Infrastructure lenders, strategic and venture investors, real-estate partners. Signal discipline, unit economics, proof of scale.
  • Tier 3
    Operating talent
    Operations, robotics, software, fleet, maintenance, safety leaders. Signal a clear mission and serious execution environment.
  • Tier 4
    Drivers and fleet users
    Users of the current EV fleet and mobility operations. Signal clarity, availability, trust.
03 · Color

White, gray, charcoal.

A restrained palette. The interface feels architectural and precise, not colorful. Dark navy is reserved for CTAs, footer, and high-emphasis panels.

Background#F7F8FA
Page canvas, section background, soft panels.
Surface#FFFFFF
Cards, form fields, navigation, major content.
Border#E3E8EE
Hairlines, card borders, separators, form outlines.
Text#111111
Primary text, major headings, the black wordmark.
Muted#4F5B66
Secondary text, captions, metadata, supporting copy.
Footer / CTA#071822
Primary CTA, footer, dark statement bars and panels.
Color rules
  • 01No bright blue interface system. No older blue accents, blue logos, blue CTAs.
  • 02Black or dark navy for high-emphasis actions. White / gray for structure and reading.
  • 03Charts stay restrained: light grid, charcoal labels, one subtle accent only if state requires it.
  • 04Dark sections are deliberate: footer, primary CTA blocks, statement bars, key proof panels.

04 · Typography

Spare, strong, utilitarian.

Inter / system stack. Sentence case for headlines. The wordmark already carries the futuristic character — body type should disappear into the reading.

Hero
3–8 words. Tight line-height, strong weight.
56–72 / 36–44
The operating layer.
Page
Hubs, Platform, Operations, About, Careers.
40–52 / 30–36
Hubs built for autonomy.
Section
One idea per section.
24–32
Operate at maximum uptime.
Card
Short and scannable.
16–20
Real-time fleet dispatch.
Body
Use muted for supporting paragraphs.
15–17 / 15–16
Purpose-built environments where robots, charging, calibration, and dispatch happen in one operating system.
Caption
Partner labels, metadata, legal, microcopy.
12–13

Rules
  • 01Headlines 3–8 words. Short, declarative, sentence case.
  • 02One headline + one short paragraph + one proof point per section.
  • 03All-caps only for labels, eyebrows, and partner captions.
  • 04No decorative, sci-fi, or overly futuristic fonts in body copy.
05 · Imagery

Realistic, bright, architectural.

Imagery should feel like an operating facility, not a concept-art poster. Overcast premium light, soft reflections, clean gray and white surfaces.

Reference: Autonomous hubs
Autonomous hubs
Large white or near-white architecture, wide bays, staged vehicles, robotics, clean concrete, neutral sky.
Reference: Robotics & operations
Robotics & operations
Industrial arms, calibration stations, inspection equipment, cleaning, sensor calibration, charging.
Reference: Vehicles
Vehicles
Complete, realistic black or neutral vehicles. No warped bodies, missing wheels, or stretched proportions.
Reference: Platform / software
Platform / software
Light SaaS dashboards. Restrained maps, metric cards, dark left nav, minimal color.
Do
  • Proportional scaling — set width × height with object-fit explicitly defined.
  • Realistic photography and architectural visualization.
  • Overcast, bright, premium architectural light.
  • Every image reinforces one theme: hub, uptime, robotics, software, safety, scale.
Don't
  • Stretch or squeeze vehicles, buildings, dashboards, or partner logos.
  • Cartoons, neon sci-fi, overly saturated environments.
  • Warped robotics, blue-accent compositions, missing wheels.
  • Concept-art posters in place of operating reality.
06 · Voice

Precise. Credible. Calm.

Operational language, not startup buzzwords. Speak to partners. Avoid consumer fluff. Let the operations speak.

Voice attributes
  • Precise
    Concrete nouns: hubs, calibration, uptime, dispatch, charging, maintenance, robotics, software.
  • Credible
    No inflated claims. Proof points, metrics, operational language.
  • Calm
    Short declarative sentences. No hype, no exclamation marks, no buzzwords.
  • Premium
    Less copy, stronger hierarchy. Let architecture and operations imagery do work.
  • Partner-ready
    Speak to AV companies, infrastructure partners, lenders, strategic partners without consumer fluff.
Approved headlines
