FAIRBANK · Visual Identity System

InspectOS

Visual identity, typography, colour system, and component library — the complete design language for Portugal's professional property inspection platform.

Palette

Charcoal anchors technical authority without the coldness of pure black. Deep Teal signals precision and professionalism — it's the inspection colour. Amber/Orange is reserved exclusively for warnings and defect alerts, making it semantically meaningful rather than decorative.

Do and Don't

InspectOS should read like a trusted professional instrument. The moment it looks like a real estate agent website — warm photography, vague superlatives, decorative orange — it loses its core differentiation.

✓ Do

Use Sora for all headlines and the "InspectOS" wordmark — no substitutes
Use IBM Plex Mono for all labels, data outputs, report references, and eyebrows
Keep Inspection Amber exclusively for defect warnings and alert states
Use Charcoal for the navigation bar and dark surfaces — never pure black
Show the 4-step process pattern on every service page
Always show a price. Transparent pricing is a core brand promise.
Write "InspectOS" — capital I, capital O, capital S. Always.
Use real inspection photography (thermal images, defect documentation) as visuals

✗ Don't

Don't use stock photos of smiling families, keys, or property handshakes
Don't use Amber/Orange for decorative purposes — it signals "defect" and must stay meaningful
Don't hide pricing behind "contact us for a quote" (except TDD for large portfolios)
Don't use fear-mongering copy — "hidden dangers lurking in your walls!" is not InspectOS
Don't write INSPECTOS, Inspectos, Inspect-OS, or InspectPT — ever
Don't place the logo on photographic backgrounds or add drop shadows to the mark
Don't use Gold/premium colour for anything other than the TDD / Institutional tier
Don't over-claim — "we find everything" is as damaging as fear-mongering
System Note · InspectOS vs PropCheck
InspectOS
Fonts: Sora + IBM Plex family · Anchor: Charcoal #1C2B2B · Background: Warm Cream #FAFAF8 · Feel: Technical instrument, professional service
PropCheck
Fonts: DM Sans · Anchor: Navy #1E3A5F · Background: White #FFFFFF · Feel: Helpful intelligence platform, freemium consumer tool
Both share the same Teal family and the same FAIRBANK parent — they are unmistakably related, but distinct. InspectOS is the professional instrument. PropCheck is the accessible platform.
