How we letter
Rules that travel from the mark to the work
Do not stretch
The two lines of the name are the same width because the spacing was calculated, not eyeballed. Models get the same treatment: no fake flexibility that breaks under load.
No shadow, no relief
The plate is flat. The report is honest. If a number needs a glow to look important, the number is wrong.
Gold is a bar, not a coat
Accent lives in the mark and the rule. Everywhere else it competes with the work. We keep it scarce.
Hand it over
A first cut is a beginning. The job is the documentation, the training, and the file someone else can keep.
