Heat, handed over with tenderness.
A design system built the way a turo-turo works — you point, you pick, you eat. Every color, letterform and control here comes from the jars themselves, and each guideline below is one card: the specimen on top, the rule underneath.
01 · Color
Three labels, one shelf.
The palette is lifted straight from the jars. Chili-crunch brands go loud and red — this one goes soft. Each flavor owns a pastel surface; charcoal does all the reading; two accents carry action and heat.
Every word of body copy, every outline. 11.5:1 or better on all three surfaces.

02 · Typography
A grotesque, a workhorse, and a stamp.
Three roles, chosen against the grain of the usual food-brand serif: a quirky grotesque for personality, a warm humanist for reading, and a mono that behaves like the net-weight stamp on a jar.
Crispy garlic and shallot with a balanced, everyday heat — the perfect crunch for rice, noodles, eggs, or anything you crave.

03 · Brand device
Turo means point.
The brand is named for the turo-turo — the eatery where you point at the food behind the glass. Two marks carry that idea everywhere: the manicule and the interpunct that already lives inside "Turo·Turo".
- Do point at exactly one thing per screen.
- Do render in Turo Pink or Uling only.
- Don't use it as a repeating list bullet.

04 · Components
The counter, assembled.
Every control inherits the soft radius of the labels, the charcoal outline and the one-accent rule. Pink fills the primary action; red means heat.
05 · Motion
Point, then reveal.
Motion serves the pointing metaphor and the scroll-driven storefront — never decoration. One orchestrated moment per group beats a dozen scattered effects.
Content rises and fades as it enters view; flavor names travel further for parallax. The homepage's core gesture.
The manicule taps toward its target on a slow loop — a gentle "over here", never a flash.
Cards and buttons lift 2–4px in .15–.25s, then return flush on press.
- Off reveals, nudges, lifts
- Keeps full content, at rest, instantly
06 · Voice & copy
Talks like a lola who feeds you.
Warm, plainspoken, a little cheeky. Care first, heat second. The whole brand answers one question before you ask it.
"Anak, did you eat?" Food as love, said plainly
Do
- Name real food: rice, noodles, fried egg, sinangag.
- Be direct — "The original. Everyday heat."
- Let warmth carry the sell, not hype.
Don't
- Chase "artisanal / elevated / curated" filler.
- Over-promise scoville drama on a soft brand.
- Explain the culture like an outsider.
07 · Accessibility
WCAG 2.1 AA, built in — not bolted on.
The pastel palette forces discipline: soft colors can't carry text, so the system pins text to charcoal and reserves the brights for fills. These are the non-negotiables the storefront ships against.
Body text is always Uling. Turo Pink is a fill; pink text uses Turo Pink Deep. Controls and dots clear 3:1.
All reveals, nudges and lifts are gated. Reduced-motion users get the content at rest, instantly.
- h1 one per page
- Order no skipped heading levels
- Skip first focusable element
Manicules, interpuncts, jars and chilis are decorative and hidden from assistive tech; meaning lives in the text beside them.
Every control is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible 3px ring and never a suppressed outline.
Heat, sale and status always carry a word or a shape as well as a hue.
