Altris/ Design Language/ Overview

The shared
language of
European Na-ion.

The Altris brand guidelines. Use these principles, design rules and assets to create clear, consistent communications across every channel.

01 · Positioning

The European sodium-ion standard.

Industrial readiness, supply chain sovereignty, and risk mitigation are the narrative. Every surface we make — deck slide, datasheet, website hero — should feel like it came from the same calm, credible source.

“Altris is the sustainable sodium-ion standard — validated for automotive low-voltage, scalable for the grid, and made entirely in Europe to guarantee supply chain sovereignty.” Positioning Statement · 2026
02 · Principles

Four convictions

Judge every decision — a swatch, a headline, a photo crop — against these. They come directly from the work: validated chemistry, disciplined scaling, European supply, real people in Uppsala.

Proof 01

Grounded
in proof

Numbers, units, sources — visible. Validated, not speculative. Never ornament what we can prove.

Test: Can a customer cite this?
Industrial 02

Industrial,
not futuristic

We build for factories and fleets today. Avoid sci-fi tropes, glows, and speculative moodscapes.

Test: Could this ship on a datasheet?
European 03

Quietly
European

Scandinavian restraint. The confidence to leave things out. Daylight over drama.

Test: Have we removed enough?
System 04

A system,
not a mood

Every token, asset, and rule ships with a reason. Consistency is how trust compounds.

Test: Is there a token for this?
03 · Messaging pillars

Four things we say

From the strategy brief — the four pillars that underpin every external touchpoint, from website to sales deck to PR.

Pillar 01

Commercial readiness

A drop-in, high-performance replacement for lead-acid. Validated, available, proven in the field.

Pillar 02

Performance, engineered for reality

160 Wh/kg, operation down to −40°C, zero thermal runaway. Hard numbers, operational extremes.

Pillar 03

Sustainable supply chain

European iron, salt, wood, and air. No cobalt, no nickel, no conflict minerals. Resilience as sustainability.

Pillar 04

Industrial validation

Uppsala Pilot Plant produces industrial reference cells that let partners scale with confidence.

04 · Foundations

Start here

Logo, color and typography form the foundation of every Altris communication. Apply them consistently across layout, illustration, photography and data visualization.

05 · Apply the system

From principles to practice

Use these rules and assets to create clear, consistent Altris communications.
