01 · BRAND ESSENCE

Everything stays quiet so the planet can be the personality.

Warm, hand-made, human

The planet is drawn with visible dashes, not vectors. We are a people business, not a platform — never redraw it as a clean geometric icon.

Small but global

"Tiny" is the wink; the orbit is the reach. Layouts and copy feel personal and expert at the same time.

Clear over clever

Our clients sell complex financial products into a regulated market. Our own materials model the clarity we sell.

03 · COLOUR

The palette is the planet itself.

Navy ink plus a sunlit run of yellows and oranges, sampled from the logo artwork. Click a swatch to copy its hex.

Proportion

70% white surface · 20% Planet Navy · 10% warm accent. One warm colour leads per layout.

Contrast rules

  • Body text is always Planet Navy (10.4:1 on white).
  • Marigold is decorative on light grounds (2.1:1) — never body copy.
  • Accent-coloured text uses Cinnamon #9A4A14 (6.2:1).
  • Text on any warm fill is navy. Never white on marigold.
04 · TYPOGRAPHY

Fraunces for titles. Plus Jakarta Sans for every other word. Billock for a signature.

05 · VOICE & WRITING

Personal, expert, plain-spoken.

WE DO
  • Speak as "we", to "you". Short sentences, concrete outcomes.
  • Write in English or Vietnamese — one language per sentence.
  • Always write Vietnamese with full diacritics: "Thị trường Việt Nam".
  • Use fintech and investment language.
  • Write the name as A Tiny Planet; A TINY PLANET only in the eyebrow line.
WE DON'T
  • Use hype words, emoji or exclamation-mark marketing.
  • Write unaccented Vietnamese ("Thi truong Viet Nam").
  • Make regulatory or performance claims on a client's behalf.
  • Abbreviate to "ATP" in anything a customer sees.
  • Use bull/bear or candlestick-wall trading clichés.

"We help international finance and trading brands find their footing in Vietnam — with strategy, localisation and the local team to run it."
