The problem
Brand guidelines are usually a beautiful PDF that answers none of the questions people actually have. What is the accessible text colour on brand blue? What does a table look like? What happens on a dark background? So everyone improvises and the brand drifts within a quarter.
Every approved text-on-background pairing tested against WCAG 2.2 AA and stated in the guide. This is where most identities fail in practice — the brand colour is unreadable at body size and nobody wrote down an alternative.
Named sizes, weights, line heights and when to use each. "Headings use Instrument Sans" leaves every real decision to whoever opens the file next.
The system is delivered as design tokens that map straight into code, so the developer implementation and the design file cannot drift apart.
If your product or site has a dark theme, the identity has to define it. Retrofitting is where brands end up with two unrelated palettes.
