Seoul’s favorite big sister, in a sheet mask.

언니 un·nie, noun big sister; the one you trust.

4 SKUsMade in Korea

01

The idea

Some things you ask Mom. Skincare, you ask Unnie. She has tried everything in Seoul, reads ingredient lists for fun, and tells her little sister what’s worth it. Every touchpoint should feel like advice from her.

1

Knows first.

The ingredients Seoul is talking about now: PDRN, rice, ceramides, peptides.

2

Tells it straight.

Plain benefits on the front, a tip on the back. No jargon walls.

3

Keeps it real.

Good ingredients, made in Korea, no splurge required.

Personality

Four words to check every piece against.
In the knowSeoul-current, specific about ingredients. Never vague.
Straight-talkingShort sentences. Says what it does and who it’s for.
WarmBig-sister care. On your side, never preachy.
PlayfulWinks, speech bubbles, a little Korean. Fun, not childish.

“The character sells the trial; the ingredient earns the repeat.”The brand’s working rule: Unnie gets you to pick it up, the formula makes you come back.

Color

Cream pages, wine ink, and the four pouch colors. The pouches are the loudest thing in any layout; everything else stays calm around them. Tap a code to copy it.

Type

A soft, chunky serif for headlines, a friendly sans for reading, and a script for Unnie’s voice. All four are free Google Fonts (Open Font License), so agencies and retail partners can use them without a license.

Headlines

Fraunces

Weight 800 to 900, “Soft” 100 and “Wonk” 1 for the retro, ink-spread look. Tight leading (1.0 to 1.1).

Headlines, product names, numbersGoogle Fonts ↗
Body

DM Sans

Weights 400, 500, 700. Body at 16 to 18 px, line height 1.55. Labels in 700, uppercase, letter-spacing 0.18 em.

Body, UI, labels, legalGoogle Fonts ↗
Unnie’s voice

Yellowtail

Only for short Unnie lines: “So juicy.”, “xo, Unnie”. Five words at most. Never for body copy or anything someone needs to read twice.

Speech bubbles, sign-offs, one word of a headlineGoogle Fonts ↗
Korean

언니는 다 알지

Noto Serif KR, weight 700 to 900. For Korean words set in digital layouts. The pouch tagline is hand-lettered; use the logo file for that, not this font.

Unnie, the character

She is the brand. One recognizable woman, drawn the same way everywhere, in a moment her little sister recognizes.

Unnie winking, finger to her lips
  • WhoKorean, late 20s. The cool older sister who has been to every shop in Myeongdong.
  • HairBlack, shoulder-length bob with soft volume. Tortoiseshell sunglasses pushed up on her head (optional).
  • FaceRed lip, rosy cheeks, defined brows. Expressive: wink, laugh, eyes closed in a mask.
  • WardrobeCrisp white button-up shirt, sleeves rolled. Gold hoop earrings, thin gold chain.
  • SignatureWink with a finger to her lips: “our little secret.”
  • StyleHand-inked retro illustration: confident ink outlines, soft watercolor fills, 1980s Seoul beauty-ad energy.
  • PropsCompact mirror, phone selfie, ring light, pillow, tea cup, shopping basket. Never a competitor product.

Do

  • Keep the same face, bob and white shirt.
  • Give her one clear moment per image.
  • Pair her with a speech bubble line.
  • Use the product color behind her.

Don’t

  • Switch to photos or 3D renders.
  • Change hair color or outfit for a campaign.
  • Sexualize her or make her a cartoon kid.
  • Show her holding a blank or off-brand pouch.

The lineup

Four reasons people reach for a mask, one SKU each. Every SKU owns a color, an Unnie moment, a line, and an ingredient pair. Keep those four things locked together.

Peptide + Ceramide

“Do not disturb.”

20 minutes before bed. Wake up looking rested.

07

The pouch

One layout for all four SKUs; only the color, scene, line and ingredients change. From the end of the aisle it should read as a color block with a face.

How Unnie talks

Like a big sister texting you: short, specific, a little teasing, always on your side. She names the ingredient and says what it does. She never oversells.
