<aside> 📌

This page documents the identity system as it actually exists in the handoff bundle — the mark, its rules, the palette and the type.

1. The mark

Property Value
Construction Continuous stroke — one contour, unbroken
Natural ratio 5:2
Intent One gesture, not a drawn logo. The hand is the asset.

Refinement — same gesture, cleaner execution

Version Description Status
Original Your hand, untouched Archive
Refined Smoothed & balanced Recommended — use this

Negative Ink on paper For print — signature blocks, stationery
