Mark anatomy
Every platform, one stance.
Four matching forms around a shared centre: web, iOS, iPadOS and Android, built from the same source.

- 01
Four forms
Identical, each rotated a quarter turn around one point.
- 02
The centre
The space they share: the common ground of the system.
- 03
The outer curves
Each form swells outward, so the mark feels open rather than closed.
- 04
The inner edges
Straight and parallel, keeping the gaps even.
Construction
01
One quarter
A single form is drawn first.

02
Rotation
It is repeated four times around a point.

03
Even gaps
Equal spacing keeps each quarter distinct.
Meaning, part by part
- Four forms
- Platforms. Each native, each recognisably the same.
- Centre
- Source. One set of tokens behind every product.
- Curves
- Comfort. Interfaces that feel considered.
