The identity system, documented.

Mark, palette, type, rules. This page is set in the tokens and faces it documents — every swatch, ratio, and specimen below is the live system, not a picture of it.

01 / THE MARK

The original Vyridian V — a steel mark carrying a hidden Y in its counter. V and Y: Vyridian. It shipped on the first site; this rebuild sharpens its presentation instead of replacing it.
