✓ Always Do
→ Use Playfair Display for all headlines, wordmarks, and pull quotes. Pair exclusively with Outfit for body. Never substitute either font.
→ Switch fully to the correct seasonal palette. Summer and Winter are distinct worlds - never mix teal (#00C9A7) into a winter-themed asset.
→ Lead with the experience, not the price. "Clifftop villages, turquoise water" before "from €1,240".
→ Keep backgrounds dark (#080F0E or #060810). Wandr lives in atmospheric, high-contrast darkness - it evokes night sky, sea depth, and adventure.
→ Always include star rating and review count with destination mentions in paid media. Trust signals matter.
→ Use italic Playfair Display for emotional words: for you, await, discover. The italics carry feeling - use them precisely.
→ Reference "curated", "handpicked", "specialist" in every paid asset. These are the brand differentiators.
✕ Never Do
× Never use exclamation marks in brand or editorial copy. Wandr is confident - not excitable. Urgency comes through scarcity language, not punctuation.
× Never use "cheap", "deal", "discount", or "sale". Wandr sells curation, not price. If price is a hook, lead with value - "from €640" not "as low as €640".
× Never place the wordmark on a light background without using the reversed variant. Logos on white must use the #080F0E dark version.
× Never mix the amber (#FFB347) secondary colour as a primary CTA. It is warmth/accent only - buttons and links always use the season's primary teal or blue.
× Never produce stock-photo-style content showing generic smiling tourists. The brand aesthetic is atmosphere, landscape, and intimate human moments - not marketing photography.
× Never switch seasons mid-campaign. A summer campaign uses only the summer palette throughout - across all touchpoints, from ads to email.
× Never truncate "Wandr" to just the wordmark without the tinted final letter in digital assets. The coloured 'r' is a signature - always preserve it.
