Clear space
The mark holds 48 on every side of its 240 box. Nothing enters that band — not a rule, not a caption.

Sheet 02 — Construction
Constructed, not drawn
Five distances define the mark. Switch the layers off and what is left is a set of measurements; switch them on and the measurements are the mark. Nothing here is placed by eye except where the sheet says so.
Layers
Canonical dimensions
- Column height
- 2408 × 30
- Column width
- 488 × 6
- Upper wing span
- 78off lattice
- Lower wing span
- 68off lattice
- Base span
- 98off lattice
48 and 240 resolve onto the 8 lattice. 68, 78 and 98 do not — the wings are set optically. A sheet that claims everything is on the grid is a sheet nobody measured.
Sheet 03 — Index
Every number on this sheet is a real distance
Four constructions, and each one measures something the page itself is using right now — the bracket inset, the hatch pitch, the clear space, the aperture. Read a figure, measure the drawing, and the two agree.
Inset aperture
50 across, overhanging the 20 pitch by 10 on each axis. Neither number sits on the 8 lattice — the aperture is cut against the grain on purpose.
Corner bracket
16 of arm, set 20 in from the trim, clearing a 24 corner radius. Four per plate, never three.
Blueprint hatch
A 20 tile struck at 45°, offset half a tile on the second pass. The sheet's only texture.
Sheet 04 — Type
Two faces, three roles, no more
Inter carries display and body — layered by size, never by weight, because only 400 and 500 are loaded. JetBrains Mono carries anything a machine would also read: sheet numbers, dimensions, tokens.

Sheet 05 — Palette
One light source, above
Six values and no accent colour. Depth comes from two steps of grey and a single pixel of white along every top edge — which is also why the highlight and the paper are nearly the same swatch.
#EFEFF5Paperbackground
The sheet. Every plate is cut from it, so no plate needs a background of its own.
#0F172AInktext-primary
Titles, specimens, dimension figures. Never a fill.
#8A8A93Strokeborder · surface
Every construction line, tick and extension. Held at 0.5px so it stays annotation.
#E5E5EBFacefigure fill
The lit face of a constructed plane.
#D1D1D4Shadefigure inset
A plane carved below the face. Two steps of grey is the entire depth budget.
#FFFFFFHighlightedge light
One pixel along every top edge. The sheet has exactly one light source, above.
Sheet 06 — Manifest
The frame is on the lattice
Eight tokens. Every gap, inset and corner on this sheet resolves to one of them, and all eight are multiples of the 8 base — which is exactly the claim the mark itself cannot make.

* Quantum Grid is the 8px lattice every layout measure resolves onto. The mark does not — see sheet 02.
