Brand style guide

The visual and verbal system behind the Cyman Huang culinary brand — designed to extend cleanly to future sub-brands without a redesign.

Logo system

Cyman HuangLocal Roots, Global Table

Primary wordmark + tagline lockup. Minimum clear space equals the monogram height.

Monogram mark — favicon, social avatar, packaging and menus. Sub-brands inherit this mark with a descriptor set beneath it.

Do not stretch, recolor outside the palette, add effects, or place the wordmark on busy photography without a scrim.

  • · Warm, knowledgeable, personal. First person, always.
  • · Recipe steps: clear, confident, imperative. No hedging.
  • · Narrative: reflective, specific, a little wry. Details over adjectives.
  • · Never corporate, never breathless, never "delicious" as a description.

  • 2. From the Neighborhood Market to the World's Table
  • 3. Everyday Ingredients, Borrowed Borders

Brand family (reserved)

The system is built to hold future ventures under the same umbrella — a restaurant and a food distribution company. Each would take the monogram with a descriptor lockup, the same palette with one shifted accent, and a card in the reserved "Ventures" navigation slot. No structural rebuild required.
