Sheet 02

Clear space

The clear-space unit is the check itself. One ghost check on every side: its width beside the mark and after the wordmark, its height above the mark and below the baseline — descenders never push margins. Optically tuned, geometrically exact.

The rule

One ghost check of clearance on every side — width beside, height above and below.
