Welcome to the USPS® Digital Style Guide
Our goal at USPS.com is to give customers the information and tools they need to achieve their goals and have the best possible customer experience. We do that by communicating a consistent brand message across all elements of content, design, and interaction.
You, as designers and developers, can count on this style guide when applying our brand identity across USPS.com. It contains all the resources and assets you'll need; follow its guidance and you'll breeze through your mandatory Style Guide Compliance Reviews.
Together, we can create digital experiences that take USPS.com to new heights.

- Copy, Tone, & Manner: High-level goals and USPS.com-specific style and usage
- Design: Including branding, colors, typography, and imagery
- Elements: Specifications and examples of HTML page elements
- Resources: Additional guidance around accessibility, governance, legal compliance, and more topics.
