Gneiss Visual Identity

A working specimen sheet for the Gneiss field-notebook system: typography, paper artifacts, geological instruments, interface states, and unclassed HTML.

FIELD NOTEBOOK / IDENTITY
VERIFIED
AUG 26
Keep the page tactile, quiet, and useful.
Design principle. Physical materials should support hierarchy rather than compete with it.

01 / Foundations

Type & Ink

Heavy ink, marker highlight,red correction, Dymo Label, and weathered ink sit alongside the normal body system.

Metadata uses faded ink. Utility labels stay compact and legible.

Spacing & Status

quiet shadow / lifted shadow / red pen / moss status

Survey transcription: 68%

Field Quote

Three depositional events are preserved here, separated by erosional breaks.
