## Typography

Recommended:

- Headings: Space Grotesk
- Terminal/code: JetBrains Mono

For pure terminal output, rely on the user’s configured monospace font.

## Logo

Use the terminal prompt mark as the core logo:

```text
>_
```

Keep it simple, kinetic and legible.

## Companion art

Recommended workflow:

1. Sketch as pixel art.
2. Convert to ANSI/block style where needed.
3. Keep a compact terminal version.
4. Keep a high-detail README/brand version.
5. Never use official third-party sprites or derivatives.
