Kelma
Brand kit

Kelma is Maltese for “word”.

The AI chat agent that knows your business. This kit holds the marks, colours, type and UI vocabulary that keep every surface unmistakably Kelma — calm, monochrome, and confidently plain.

01 — Logo

The mark

A serif K knocked out of a leaning ink stripe, followed by a script “elma”. The lean gives it forward motion; the knockout keeps it a true silhouette at any size.

Reversed — knockout reads through
Scales cleanly · min height 20px
Clear space

Keep free space around the mark equal to the height of the K stripe on all sides. Nothing crowds it.

Files

Vector SVGs for print and screens, PNGs on transparent backgrounds for everything else. Ink #171717; invert for dark grounds.

02 — Colour

Monochrome, on purpose

Near-black ink on a pure-white canvas, with a ladder of neutral greys and hairline borders. No brand colour to manage — the per-agent accent lives in the product, not the identity. Status colours are muted and used sparingly.

03 — Typography

Two typefaces, one voice

Instrument Sans carries everything functional. Instrument Serif — always italic — is the “spoken word” flourish: one or two words per line, never a paragraph.

The marker
Your visitors won’t wait

Black sweep, word knocked out in white, a hair of skew. One highlight per headline.

The accent word
Everything a great support hire would do

Serif italic dropped mid-sentence for warmth. Pairs with, never competes with, the marker.

04 — Voice

How Kelma talks

Plain, warm, and confident — like a good colleague explaining something simple. No jargon, no hype, no exclamation-mark salesmanship. It says what it can’t do as readily as what it can.

Plain

Everyday words. “One line onto your site,” not “seamless integration.”

Honest

When it doesn’t know, it says so and hands off — no invented prices.

Warm

On the visitor’s side. Helpful first, never pushy.

Brief

Short sentences. The point, then stop.

We say
  • “Kelma reads your site and answers your visitors instantly.”
  • “No credit card required. Set up in about 5 minutes.”
  • “When it doesn’t know, it points them to your team.”
We don’t
  • “Revolutionary AI-powered synergy engine!!!”
  • “Unlock next-gen conversational paradigms.”
  • “10x your funnel with our disruptive platform.”
05 — UI Kit

Interface vocabulary

Pill buttons, 16px cards, hairline borders and two soft shadows. Ink fills the primary action; everything else is quiet.
