Identity

The MWC mark.

Born as a ballpoint sketch on grid paper: chisel-cut zigzag strokes for M and W, a squared C, and a forward italic lean. This page is the working brand reference.

Logomark

The M and W are interlocked zigzags that share a diagonal stroke; the C is squared and open, cut on the same forward lean. The master file is /brand/LOGO.svg — recolored variants are generated from it. Always give the mark clear space of at least one stroke width on all sides.

MWC Ink is the only accent — everything else is paper, night, and a neutral stone scale. One ink, used sparingly, like a pen.
