F&A TOOLS · GUIDES
The PDF was finished the day it was exported. Guides is the other way around: a living document, themed by your own brand tokens, published to a link that is always the latest version.
WHY GUIDES
Guidelines are a product, not a deliverable.
Composed, not paginated
A guide is a system of typed blocks — palettes, type specimens, logo showcases, do's & don'ts, downloads — not a PDF that dies on export day.
Your brand's own theme
The guide renders with your brand's colors and typography, not ours. The tool disappears; the brand is the interface.
One link, always current
Publish to a private key-protected link. Update the guide, and everyone who has the link has the new version — no v3-final-FINAL.pdf.
Assets where they're used
Logos, fonts and files attach directly to the sections that explain them. Download buttons live next to the rules.
Navigation built in
Fixed section nav with scrollspy, a clickable index on the cover, deep links to every section. Guidelines people actually consult.
Editor in the studio's OS
Structured section-and-block editing with live theming — the same infrastructure F&A Works uses to run client brands daily.
HOW IT WORKS
Compose
Start from the studio's outline — strategy, verbal, logo, type, palette, applications — and shape it block by block.
Theme
Set the brand's colors, families and cover. The whole guide re-renders in the brand's skin instantly.
Publish
One click, one permanent link. Share it with the team, agencies and partners — it never goes stale.
