Archie never guesses the numbers. Every one is computed from the standard and traced to its clause.

Wordmark

An editorial serif, set with restraint.

The Archie wordmark is the primary identifier. Set it in the display serif, never redraw or recolour it, and give it room to breathe.

Archie

The mark

One letter, the same serif.

The mark is a capital A cut from the same display serif as the wordmark. Use it where the full wordmark will not fit: the app, the favicon, avatars. It is drawn as a single shape and takes the colour of the text around it, so one file serves light and dark. Keep clear space around it equal to the height of its crossbar.

The Archie app icon

Left, the bare mark: the default everywhere, including inline next to type. Right, the boxed app icon: reserved for the home screen, the favicon and avatars, where a container belongs. Do not put the bare mark in a box of your own.

Palette

A minimalist greyscale.

Archie is charcoal, slate and grey on paper. The restraint is the point: the work is the colour, the interface stays quiet.
