on brand
True to image
On brand describes something consistent with an established image, identity, or reputation.
Originally from marketing—a company's advertising should be on brand—the phrase now applies to personal behavior: Her dramatic exit was so on brand.
Often used ironically when someone acts predictably, especially in unflattering ways: Of course he forgot—very on brand.
