Brand foundations¶
Knovaryn is an open-source, self-hosted, MCP-native training-data foundry. The identity expresses the product's core promise:
Every training example, traced to its source.
Identity attributes¶
| Attribute | What it means visually |
|---|---|
| Traceable | Provenance routes are drawn as segmented evidence spans converging on a destination — never as vague arrows |
| Rigorous | Quality gates are literal: a ring nothing passes through by accident; verified output is a solid, continuous stroke |
| Engineered | Monoline geometry, fixed grids, no gradients inside marks; the visual language feels machined, not painted |
| Open | Generous whitespace, readable defaults, dark- and light-scheme parity; nothing hides behind decoration |
The symbol — Tracemark¶
The Knovaryn K is a provenance route:
- the stem is the source document — the fixed spine of truth;
- the arm is three segmented evidence spans converging inward;
- the gate ring at the junction is the quality gate;
- the leg is the verified example — one solid stroke leaving the gate.
The wordmark's K uses the same construction. Symbol and name are one idea.
Full construction rules, clear space, minimum sizes, variants and misuse examples live in the brand guidelines.
Voice¶
- Say what the thing does, then why it matters. Short declaratives.
- Numbers only from committed evidence (benchmarks, tests) — with their context labels.
- Honest maturity language:
alpha,experimental,not measuredare first-class words (components). - No hype adjectives ("revolutionary", "game-changing"), no invented social proof.
Reproduction¶
Every asset in docs/assets/brand/ is generated by
scripts/visuals/build_brand_assets.py from a single geometry source.
To change the identity, change the generator and rerun it — never hand-edit
outputs. The wordmark is original vector geometry: no font dependency, no
font license attached to the mark.
