Prism Paper Coke Deluxe.

Why it is not a find-and-replace

Bebas draws the two glyphs on completely different plans. Measured off bebas.woff2, 1000 upm. ™ is drawn as a superscript, which is why the old <sup> treatment worked for two years. ® is drawn at full cap height and is the widest glyph in the wordmark. Superscripted it hangs off the corner like a balloon.

The rule

The ® is punctuation. Scale it to the weight of a full stop, sit it on the period line, hug it to the S. It closes the sentence. That is the house voice already: the full stop is the default beat, and now the beat is the trademark. Never raise it into a corner.

Always drawn in Bebas, whatever type surrounds it. Bebas fills .72 of its em with ink where SF Mono fills .536, and it is a heavy condensed face, so its ring keeps a thicker stroke at the same height. Measured at 1× / 2× / 3× across both masthead sizes: the SF Mono ® never holds its counter at 15px on a 2× phone, and Bebas does. One face also makes the mark a brand element rather than a shape that changes with its surroundings.

The sit targets the period line, y=0 — not the S. The period is a 106 × 106 square sitting flat on the baseline. The S is round, and rounds overshoot: it dips to y=-10 so it does not read small beside a flat-sided D. Aligning the ® to that overshoot hangs it BELOW the line the D and the L sit on, which reads as not-flush. Because the target is zero, the offset does not depend on the scale, so it is one flat number and cannot drift.

Prose takes no class. "PAY THE DØLLS® is a registered trademark" in a body paragraph is typed bare. SF Mono and JetBrains already draw ® small and high, around .75 of cap, which is exactly where 31 of 35 measured instances sit. .rm is for the WORDMARK.

What the field does

® ink height over dominant letter height, measured off twenty-two live brand sites. Median of the five baseline-set marks is .195. Not one of them superscripts it. Coca-Cola's ~.10 is right for Coke and wrong for us: their mark is detached and printed at 50mm on a can, ours is attached and lives at 24px on a screen.

Never

There is no vector. This blocks real work.

The mark exists only as a raster. The master is 6250 × 6250 with alpha, which is 20 inches at 300dpi, so the storefront, social, a favicon and print to about 20 inches all come off it cleanly. 1.7_source/pay the dolls logo.ai is not this artwork — it converts to a 1440 × 900 board of about 110 grey paths and renders blank. What is needed is the vector export from wherever this was drawn. Not a trace. Until it exists, a single-colour SVG favicon, an inline SVG header mark, cut vinyl, foil, embroidery and licensing are all blocked.

Still to rule on

The faces

The weight guard

Bebas ships one weight, so a heading that inherits a bold ancestor has nothing to load and the browser SYNTHESISES one by fattening the outlines. Every page carries this or the condensed caps go to mud. It is the single missing line that made the kit look wrong on 2026-08-06, and the fonts were never at fault.

h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{font-weight:400;margin:0;}

Two things still open. The kit declares JB at font-weight:400 only, while the kit itself asks for 700 on § numbers and chips, so those are synthesised rather than loaded. And SF Mono is Apple's, licensed for interface work, which is why the wordmark is cut twice in the logo bank. Neither is settled here.

The grounds

Grounds stay white or black. Nothing else is a ground — --surface is a card and tile fill and never a page.

Ink on a core

Label ink is derived from luminance, never picked. CENTURION is #0E0E0E and PLATINUM is #C9CBCD, so any single hardcoded label colour is guaranteed wrong for one of them.

The account is MIDNIGHT and sits off the ladder — never put it on a tier, and never put a tier tone on the account. 4 tones stay open and index nothing yet: HARRODS, NECTAR, VITALITY, BONVOY.

Scroll inside the frame. It is the live social kit: same file, same wheels, same devices, rebuilt by build_social.py. Open it full width →

Gates. generate.py --check writes nothing and exits 1 if any mirror is stale — that is the cross-repo gate. bun run check:tokens compares the three in-repo copies and runs in CI. check_mirrors.py parses all four palette files independently and compares tone by tone. Rebuild this page and the two kit pages after any colour change.

Held-open tones emit no CSS token. A token is an invitation to put a colour on a surface, and an unassigned tone has not earned one.
