# Gabriel Daniels / Personal Brand Kit
Version 1.0 / November 2, 2026

This package documents and extends the personal identity on GabrielDaniels.com.
It does not replace the live homepage, DOC N.I.L. company identities or client marks.

## Start here
Use logos/svg/gabriel-daniels-wordmark-ink.svg on ivory and the ivory version on dark.
The wordmark retains its gold terminal dot. Gold and gradient variants are secondary.
Use the gd. monogram for an established audience; do not replace the full name at first introduction.
All logo SVGs are outlined and independent of fonts. The included technical padding does not replace the guide's clear-space rule.
Add at least one capital-G height around the visible full-name mark; for the monogram, add one-quarter of its visible height.
Do not crop, stretch, recolor arbitrarily, add effects, typeset a substitute or place over busy photography.

## Files and formats
- logos/svg: outlined horizontal name, stacked name and italic gd. monogram; preferred gold-dot, solid-gold, screen-gradient and explicit mono-ink/mono-ivory treatments.
- logos/png: transparent high-resolution raster versions. Ink/ivory previews may appear blank on a matching viewer background.
- icons: square fields and 32/64/192/512/1024 px raster exports. These kit exports do not automatically change the website favicon.
- colors: sRGB palette, approximate CMYK references, CSS and JSON design tokens, ASE and GPL swatches.
- templates: editable SVG social posts, vertical story, banner, slides, business card front/back and US Letter letterhead; matching PNG references and an HTML email signature.
- fonts: official OFL variable source fonts and practical static instances for editing. Install fonts before editing template text. SVG logo outlines need no font installation.
- licenses: original font licenses, source URLs and hashes.
- previews: a vector/raster overview sheet.

## Typography and editing
The current website uses Cormorant Garamond for editorial display and a native system sans for much of its interface.
DM Sans is the portable sans companion used to reproduce the wordmark and template text across software.
This package does not redistribute proprietary Apple or Microsoft fonts. Font software remains under its included OFL license.
Templates preserve live text for editing. Logo components inside templates are outlined. All SVG templates can be opened in compatible vector editors; they are not native Adobe Illustrator project files.

## Print production
Color values are sRGB. CMYK values are approximate starting points, not certified ink recipes or Pantone matches.
Use a vector master and have the printer convert using the intended paper and ICC profile. Proof fine strokes at final size.
The business cards use a 3.5 x 2 inch trim with a 0.125 inch bleed on every side (1125 x675 artwork units at300/inch; trim x37.5 y37.5 w1050 h600).
Keep essential content inside x112.5 to1012.5 and y112.5 to562.5. Confirm the printer's bleed and safe-area requirements before production.
Card SVG physical dimensions are 3.75 x2.25 inches including bleed; PNG exports are 1125 x675 pixels tagged300ppi. Letterhead SVG is8.5 x11 inches; PNG is2550 x3300 at300ppi.
Metallic gold requires a separately agreed foil or spot-ink specification; the gradient is a screen treatment.

## Scope, credits and use
Gabriel Daniels is the personal identity. DOC N.I.L. is the parent company for its separate specialist businesses; those company marks remain separate.
This kit contains no reusable client logos, model photographs, portfolio images or third-party brand endorsements.
Use the personal identity to accurately identify Gabriel Daniels or authorized work. Downloading files does not grant endorsement or transfer third-party rights.
No trademark registration, proprietary typeface exclusivity or print color certification is asserted by this package.

## Rebuilding
scripts/build-brand-assets.py regenerates vector/raster exports from the bundled static font files using fontTools, Pillow and sharp.
The source URLs and SHA-256 hashes are in licenses/font-sources.json.
