Brand guidelines
How to use Santo Pane and Riserva logos, colors and voice.
Brand system
Santo Pane is the mother brand and always occupies the first plane. Riserva is the keeping register, consistently endorsed and subordinate. Luxury is expressed through precision, space and time — never excess.
Official logos
The pack contains the essential Santo Pane and Riserva logos in vector and raster files where available, organized for immediate use.

Use the height of the fleur-de-trigo as unit X and keep at least 1X clear space on every side. Never place text, borders or other elements inside this area.
Minimum size
A definitive minimum size has not been approved yet. Request validation for small applications and never reduce the logo until legibility or detail is compromised.
Official palette
HEX values come from the design system tokens. Santo Pane uses Ink, Olive, Flour, Paper and Brass; Riserva uses Navy, Beige, Paper and Brass.

Typography
Bodoni Moda is reserved for display headings. Mrs Eaves is the approved support face for licensed applications; the font is not redistributed through this kit. Uppercase descriptors use 0.18em or 0.32em tracking.
Photography and art direction
Use natural, directional and warm light from a single source, with soft shadows. Dark wood, raw linen, stone, flour and matte brass shape the visual world. Favor crumb, steam, hands and the cut, with negative space. Do not use stock, hard flash, HDR, food-blog flat lays or a logo over the image.
Motion
Motion is rare and functional: lamination, cutting, steam and fermentation in patient shots. Use opacity and position transitions, honor prefers-reduced-motion and avoid bounce, spring, decorative parallax, spinning logos or kinetic typography.
Santo Pane voice
Elegant, precise and mature. It speaks of time, technique and craft without excitement. It favors a well-stated fact over a superlative and never uses gourmet, delight, amazing, alpine language or a terroir claim.
Riserva voice
More solemn and ceremonial, connected to keeping, curing, gifting and vintage. It remains restrained and subordinate to the house voice; it never turns brass, rarity or heraldry into ostentation.
Co-branding and partnerships
Preserve clearspace and equivalent visual weight between partners without altering the files. Santo Pane remains legible as the origin; Riserva appears only when the partnership belongs to the keeping register. Every new composition requires approval before publication or production.
Usage approval
For physical applications, small sizes, co-branding, special production or uses not covered here, send the piece through the official contact before production.
