Typography

Recommended:

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

For pure terminal output, rely on the users configured monospace font.

Use the terminal prompt mark as the core logo:

>_

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.
