Three-column numbered table of contents on cream, listing verbal and visual identity sections with dotted decimal numbering and page numbers.
Summary
The contents page: a dense three-column index mapping every section of the guide to a decimal number and a page number.
Visual description
Cream background with the header "0.2 / Brand guidelines index". Three columns of contents run across the page. Each column groups sections with a bold parent heading (1.0 Verbal Identity, 2.0 Visual Identity, 2.5 Colour, 2.9 Applications, and so on) and indented sub-items beneath, every line carrying a decimal number on the left and a page number flush right. Type is small Neue Haas Grotesk; bold marks the chapter heads, regular marks the entries. The grid is tight and orderly, with consistent column gutters and clear vertical rhythm. Footer rule repeats copyright, deck name, version.
Key takeaway
Treating the table of contents as a designed spread, not an afterthought: three even columns, a strict decimal numbering system, and right-aligned page numbers make a 97-page document feel navigable at a glance. Bold-versus-regular weight alone separates chapters from sub-sections, no rules or color needed.
Reuse notes
Directly reusable for any long guideline, report, or manual that needs an at-a-glance index. The decimal numbering (1.1, 2.5.3) scales to deep hierarchies. Requires disciplined section naming to stay this clean; works best in a monochrome editorial system.
