& pause / brand system
& pause
Find your pause.
A calm, grounded identity for an outdoor sauna and cold-plunge ritual — designed to feel at home in woodland, beside the Thames, and beyond.
The idea
Movement & stillness.
Heat & cold.
Everyday & elsewhere.
The ampersand is the hinge in the identity: a visual pause between two states. The brand should feel premium without feeling precious; natural without becoming rustic; social without losing stillness.
01 / Logo suite
The wordmark
Our core lockup uses Cormorant Garamond. “pause” is Medium; the ampersand is Regular, giving the mark contrast without becoming decorative.
02 / Typography
Quiet confidence.
Serif for personality. Sans serif for clarity. Avoid over-styling or overly tight layouts — the typography should have room to breathe.

Use for body copy, navigation, captions, data, labels and presentation content.
03 / Colour
Woodland, warmth, contrast.
The palette is grounded in forest and charcoal, softened by warm cream, with copper used as a considered accent.

04 / Iconography
Simple forms, one visual language.
The supporting icons use calm, economical linework. Use the SVGs for crisp web and slide use; use the PNGs anywhere you just want a quick placed image.
05 / Photography
Feel the place.
Warm, tactile and lived-in. Prioritise natural light, steam, timber, water, woodland and small human details over glossy spa clichés.





06 / Touchpoints
