Brand in the product layer

Brand should not stop at the marketing site. It needs to be encoded into product primitives where users spend their time.

Typography scales, color behavior, tone of voice, and motion signatures are strongest when embedded at component level.

This approach keeps experiences cohesive even as teams and features grow.
