Fishwrap brand assets

The brand assets — wordmark, favicon, Open Graph card — are produced from the live font using fontTools and ImageMagick. No generative AI is used in the pipeline. The thesis of the engine is that the algorithm is readable; the brand assets are produced the same way.

Reproducing the assets

Requirements:

• fontTools (Python). Install via pipx install fonttools and point at the pipx venv’s Python, or pip install fonttools in a venv.
• ImageMagick on $PATH, providing the magick command.

The fonts ship with the repo under docs/static/fonts/:

• LibreBaskerville-variable.ttf (SIL OFL)
• LibreBaskerville-Italic-variable.ttf (SIL OFL)
• iAWriterMonoS-Regular.ttf (SIL OFL)
• iAWriterMonoS-Italic.ttf (SIL OFL)

Run from this directory:

~/.local/pipx/venvs/fonttools/bin/python generate-assets.py

Or activate a venv with fontTools installed and run python generate-assets.py.

The script writes:

• docs/static/images/fishwrap_logo.svg — path-only wordmark SVG
• docs/static/images/favicon.svg — path-only pilcrow glyph
• docs/static/images/favicon-{16,32,48,64,96,128,180,192,256,512}.png
• docs/favicon.ico — multi-resolution legacy ICO at site root
• docs/static/images/og-card.png — 1200×630 Open Graph card

See docs/BRAND.md §6 for the spec the assets implement and §7 for the production method.
