The Crafter Station mark is a single interlaced glyph in forged gold. It carries the brand alone in spaces where the name is already known: app icons, favicons, merch.
The mark is constructed on a 4-circle grid of R=64. Every variant, every application, every clear-space rule derives from those four primitives.
Geometry & symmetry system
The mark adapts to medium. Monoline for inline UI. Filled for primary use. Stamp for engravings. Hologram for screens. Signal for sparse layouts.
Five canonical lockups cover ~95% of use cases. Horizontal is primary. Spacing rules lock to R/2 = 32 units.
Geist Sans for prose, Geist Mono for labels and data. Fluid scale across breakpoints. Variable axis 400–700.

We ship before we are ready, then iterate until it earns its place. The system you are looking at — every mark, every gradient, every micro-interaction — is the same system that ships our products, our community pages, and our open source tools.
Forged gold as the only accent. Obsidian and titanium as the resting state. Light theme inverts surfaces but keeps gold dominant in the mark.
Minimum clear space equals the height of the mark itself (x). Min size 16px to maintain legibility at favicons.
Five canonical contexts: app icon, laser engraving, embroidery, metal badge, holographic UI. Each respects the geometry above.
24×24 grid. 2px stroke. Round caps and joins. Current-color so icons inherit theme automatically.
