01 — Who We Are

The Brand

Maverix is a performance pickleball brand built on relentless pursuit. We engineer patented Hybrid‑Thermoformed™ paddles for players who refuse to follow trends — and we back every one with a risk‑free promise.

Mission

To craft excellence, one paddle at a time — equipment engineered to the legal limit of performance so players can swing different and play their own game.

Positioning

Premium, innovation-led paddles (Havik 2, Havik 15 Pro) and accessories for committed players who want max power, a massive sweet spot, and elite maneuverability — backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.

02 — Color

Color Palette

The brand is black and white. Electric Blue is the single pop color, used deliberately on marketing sections, links, and key CTAs. Deep navy carries some headings; the rest are functional only.

How to use it: build in black and white first. Reach for blue only where you want the eye to go — a moment or two per screen. The navy→blue gradient (#0D103B → #169DEA) appears on feature accents. Gold, green, and red are functional (ratings, stock, sale) — never decorative.
03 — Typography

Typography

The live brand typeface is Jost, set in italic for headlines. Display headings run bold-to-extra-bold (700–800) with slightly open tracking and normal case — not all-caps. Body is Jost Medium. Uppercase is reserved for small labels only.

Speed Meets Power.
Display · Jost 800 Italic · letter-spacing +0.6px · normal case
Display / H1Jost 800 italic · 40px+ · line-height ~1.3 · tracking +0.6px · sentence case
Subhead / H3Jost 700 italic · 18px · used for accordion & section titles
Eyebrow / labelJost 500–600 · UPPERCASE · ~10–12px · wide tracking (1–1.3px)
BodyJost 500 (Medium) · 16px · line-height 1.8 · normal case
ButtonsJost 500–600 · normal case · letter-spacing ~1px
Consistency flag: the theme settings still name Futura, but the live site renders Jost, and a few custom sections fall back to Inter / Arial. To tighten the brand, standardize on Jost everywhere (with Arial as the system fallback) and retire the stray Futura/Inter references.
05 — Voice & Tone

Brand Voice

Bold, direct, and performance-obsessed — with a challenger's edge. Maverix speaks to players who choose their own path and never wastes their time.

Confident Bold Performance-led Challenger Direct No fluff

Do

  • Lead with the benefit: power, control, maneuverability
  • Use short, punchy declaratives — "Swing Different."
  • Make confident claims; back them with proof (patents, pros, guarantee)
  • Talk to the player, not the market

Don't

  • Hedge or over-explain — drop corporate qualifiers
  • Sound like every other paddle brand
  • Bury the promise or the call to action
  • Pile on jargon with no payoff for the player
