04LAB EXPERIMENT
EXP_001 /PARAMETRIC MARK SYSTEM.
THESIS. A mark is a system, not a drawing. Reduced to stroke, angle and depth, the S can generate every variant the brand needs from a single source.
STATUSRUNNING
01METHOD / OBJECTIVE
- Reduce the mark to measurable parameters.
- Generate variants across sizes, weights and media.
- Test legibility from 16px to large format.

05FINDINGS
- 01Diagonal angle carries the identity more than stroke weight.
- 02A fixed stroke ratio keeps variants recognisable at every size.
- 03Depth reads as quality only below 30 units.
- 04One parametric source replaces 48 hand-drawn files.
