This is a casual, handwritten font that was created in 1955.At headline scales, readability is good and it provides a comforting and inviting feel. Please use a -10 kerning when creating headlines.

Body copy should always be written in Futura Book.

This font has an efficient and forwardness feel and was designed during the late 20s. Representative of the Bauhaus style, it is a perfect compliment to Mistral’’s casual and inviting feel.

Tone and Voice (HOW TO WRITE COPY)

Tone and Voice, while often used interchangeably are and should be considered different.Voice is the personality of the writer while tone is used to reflect mood or attitude in relation to the audience. When writing body copy for our target audience, keep the following guidelines in mind.

The tone and voice should come across to the audience as a conversation with grandma. Warm, familiar and informative in nature. It should be a little direct, as grandma’’s usually are, but just a touch.

When writing, it may help to think about when you were a child and the feelings you’’d get when visiting grandma and the smell of chocolate baking or vanilla wafting through the air.

Focus Words

Final ThoughtsSqueeze-Ums believes that far too many people experience guilt when having dessert instead of experiencing pleasure. We want our brand to reflect the nostalgia of grandma’s cooking with the health benefits demanded by today’s modern family. From the cool, dusty whites we use to the deep chocolate brown, everything should feel inviting and warm. Images of healthy grains and superfruits will help convey the healthy aspects of our brand.

We encourage you to try our brand and experience for yourself all the warm, fuzzy feelings our desserts provide. Then, you can design the ads you’ll createwith passion and coniction.
