SYSTEM

The full wordmark reads as three words divided by double-slashes — GOTHAM // CITY // COLLECTIVE — prefixed by GCC for most applications. The slashes are always blood, the words always bone (on dark) or void (on light). Set in JetBrains Mono 800, tracking −0.04em. No other modifications.

CITY is scale-dependent: upright at reading scale (≤24px), rotated 180° at hero/display scale (≥28px) per §07. See specimen 01.F.

Two forward slashes, always blood. This is the collective's smallest possible mark. It does not stand alone — it prefixes or suffixes content, meaning "GCC has touched this." Think of it as a marginal correction mark. The edit, not the signature block.

Four short-mark lockups, ranked from most to least formal. Use //GCC as the default applied logo — it composes with the signature system without looking like a traditional monogram.

The stamp is the only truly "applied" mark. It's not a logo — it's a container for variable information that identifies what GCC is transmitting. File number, classification, date, and project handle shift based on context. The frame and typography stay constant.

Single-accent system. Blood carries all emphasis — alerts, links, the signature, classification. Bone is the voice. Everything else recedes. Click any swatch to copy the hex.

Do not introduce additional accents. The restraint is the point — a second accent weakens what blood does. If a state needs differentiation, use weight and opacity of existing values.

JetBrains Mono carries the entire system. Display, section headings, body, labels, chrome, and emphasis — all one family, varied by weight and size. Emphasis is earned with 800 weight and color, not with italics or alternate faces. Any other typeface breaks the system.

Everything below is a hard line. The system is small and disciplined on purpose — that's what keeps it from degenerating into another neon-katana cyberpunk site.

How the system behaves when it meets the world. Every application below composes from the same four primitives — signature, short mark, wordmark, stamp. No new marks were invented.
