Marlow Reach · Brand studio
Work that survives a brief.
Tenon is a small studio for companies that have outgrown the first logo and the first site. Identity, pages, and the system that keeps them together.
Fictional studio. A design demo. Nothing here is a proposal.
Three kinds of work
Identity
Name, mark, type, and the rules that keep a pack and a site in the same family.
Sites
A small number of pages, written and structured so a buyer knows what to do.
Systems
The templates after launch: a title page, a sign, a product module. Not a sticker sheet.
Selected work
Six fictional studies. Open any of them on the work page. None of these companies hired Tenon.
How a job moves
- 01
Brief
What the company is done explaining, and what the current site still hides.
- 02
Shape
A direction in type and structure. One, maybe two. Not a wall of moods.
- 03
Build
Pages, packs, or signs. The same grid. The words get shorter, not louder.
- 04
Hand off
Files a printer or a developer can use without a meeting to decode them.
Sample text
Written for this demo. Not reviews, and not from clients.
They cut the barn off the label and the buyer finally knew which jar was which.
The timetable and the sign finally said the same thing. That was the whole job.
