A complete brand identity system developed from concept to execution for Archive Edition, a fictional publishing and media company. Created entirely from scratch, the project encompasses logo design, custom mark development, color system, typography, and a full business system, including letterhead, envelopes, and business cards. The "ae" ligature mark balances geometric precision with a warm, editorial personality, bold enough to own a page, refined enough to anchor professional communications. A demonstration of the ability to build a cohesive brand world from a single idea outward.
