01 / LogoThe mark

The mark,
in every light

Three ellipses, an NB monogram, and orbiting signal-orange dots. The mark is drawn in currentColor, so it takes the ink of whatever sits behind it: dark ink on bone, light on ink. Copy the SVG or download a standalone file tuned for each background.

02 / ColoursThe palette

Bone, ink,
and one loud orange

Warm bone grounds, deep ink for type, signal-orange for the one thing that should move you. Authored in OKLCH for even, perceptual steps. Click any swatch to copy its value.

03 / TypeThe voice

Bricolage loud,
JetBrains quiet

Two faces do all the talking. Bricolage Grotesque carries the display: oversized, tight, and cut both solid and outlined. JetBrains Mono handles the labels and the small print.
