Written Language

Language and Tone

Brand is more than the visual palette, it also includes language, attitude and reputation.

When you’re writing, whether it’s in an email, letter or text message, keep the tone consistent. It should be simple, friendly. informal and concise.

Use everyday, understandable language. Keep in mind that your audience could be wide-ranging with varying levels of education.
