Feature Roundups on Typogram — November Edition

Week 64 of Founding Typogram

I hope you had a fantastic November and Thanksgiving! This is our monthly update № 6 on what has happened in the past month at Typogram development. If you missed the previous updates, see October and our archive here!

One of our most important features is the brand guidelines, a useful reference page serving as a library of creative assets, and a shareable formula sheet for your brand. It is one of the earliest features we built and one of the last features to revisit in preparation for our launch in January 2023. You can check out a few examples of our previous brand guidelines on our home page, under the Testimonials section. In the past month, we completely revamped the brand guideline page.

We collected feedback from our pre-order customers and created this new design — a more dynamic layout with more breathing room. We also improved functionalities, making publishing a brand guidelines page more streamlined.

Preview Brand Guidelines

After the last step, choosing the typography system, we can preview the brand guidelines on the same page before it is officially published. Our chosen brand typography and colors are directly reflected on the guidelines page: the heading, paragraph, and even the download button label styles on the guidelines page are coherent with your brand’s typography system, the color of the page background, text, and border are also using the grayscale colors from your brand color palettes.

Publish Brand Guidelines

After making sure everything looks good to go, we can click on Publish Brand Guidelines button to finish off our Typogram journey. A new public page is created and opened in a new tab, which is used for sharing.

Introducing Typogram Brand Guidelines

And finally, here is an ultra-fast tour of the brand-new, completely revamped Brand Guidelines page. It has four sections: Overview, Logo, Colors, and Typography. One detail to point out: we added a lot of logo misuse examples to make sure whoever needs to use your logo will not mistreat the logo graphically once given this brand guideline:

Hear from You

We are getting really close to our launch day in January 2023. I am feeling increasingly nervous but also excited as we progress along. Do you have any advice or story to share about the launch day experience?
