on-brand

True to image

On-brand describes something consistent with an established identity, image, or style.

Originally a marketing term—a company's actions are on-brand when they align with how the brand presents itself.

The phrase has spread to personal behavior: Showing up late is so on-brand for him.

Often used with light irony to note predictable conduct, whether admirable or not.
