Description
01
Assessment
Answers reveal how the business naturally communicates — not aspirationally, but operationally.
02
Axis
Four dimensions shape the result: Energy, Structure, Orientation, and Thinking.
03
Type
One of sixteen Brand Types is generated from the axis combination.
04
Direction
Color, typography, layout, image style, and tone all follow from the type.

Design is
Grammar.

Grammar is not decoration. It is a structure that makes communication clear and credible. Intertype applies that structure to brand identity.
