Don't rely on eye dropper to select the correct pixel

Dark blue background and white are default

Fonts

Stick with Lexend across all platforms where possible. Our Logos are Poppins, but you shouldn't need to use it for anything - just stick with Lexend and it's different weights.

Thin or Extra Light

Useful for italics or subtle differentiation from body text. Use sparingly.

Light

Standard weight — best for body text. Default option.

Normal

Slightly bolder than Light. Can be used for body text emphasis, but Light is preferred as default.

Medium, Semi-bold or Bold

Heavier weight. Ideal for subtitles, labels, or titles.

Extra-bold or Black

Very bold. Best for standout words or graphics. Use with caution and only when strong emphasis is needed.

Template Decks

Here are some templates you can use to help you stay on brand. These templates have filler text and images to help you imagine what a deck could look like.

These are still a starting point to guide your design — you don’t need to follow them box by box. The goal is consistency, not uniformity. Each presentation should feel like part of the Manaiakalani brand family, while still keeping its own style. A good tip is to choose 1–2 brand colours and stick with the same design choices throughout your deck. Aim for cohesion from start to finish, rather than chopping and changing midway.
