Very fine narrow mixed case with rounded-square bowls and long clean diagonals
Base Mark
Base Mark is a light geometric sans in mixed case: monoline strokes, circular bowls, a flat-sided s, and spacing wide enough that a word reads as a series of shapes.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Base Mark.
Base Mark sits across the middle of the card in white over a dark photograph of a building at night, set at a light weight where every stem is the same thickness and the counters are wide circles. The B has a small upper bowl and a large lower one, the s is built from two flat curves, and the k is drawn with straight diagonals, so the word looks constructed rather than written. A tracked caption above introduces the face and one below names the style. The composition is deliberately empty: a dark background, one word and two captions, which is the way a light sans has to be shown, because at a light weight the face has nothing to hide behind. It is a wordmark and heading cut for architecture studios, galleries and technology brands, and it needs a large size or a very good press to keep the thin strokes open.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Base Mark’s stroke geometry.
Section heads for an architecture review
The geometric bowls echo technical drawings, and the light weight keeps a section head from competing with the photographs that carry the page.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 230 by 300 mm page: set the section head at 17 pt with 3 mm of tracking, keep 12 mm of clear ground beneath before the first paragraph, and hold 9 mm between the head and the column rule.
Pre-production check
Thin strokes fill in on uncoated stock; print one page on the real paper and check the lightest stem before the issue.
Identity for a small gallery
The light face suits a programme of exhibitions rather than a single product, and the wide spacing makes a short gallery name feel considered on a wall label.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 50 mm wall label: set the gallery name at 13 pt with 2 mm of tracking, keep 7 mm of clear ground beneath before the work details at 8 pt, and hold 6 mm of margin on all four sides of the label.
Pre-production check
Wall labels are often printed on card that drinks ink; print one label on the actual material and check the stems.
Signage for a design faculty
The constructed forms suit a building that teaches design, and the light weight stays crisp on a plate that will be read from a metre away.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 220 by 80 mm plate: set the department name at 20 pt across one row, keep 8 mm of clear ground beneath before the floor number at 12 pt, and hold 7 mm of margin at each end of the plate.
Pre-production check
Some plate processes thin a light stroke further; print one sample plate and check the thinnest join before the set.
