02 / Logo architecture
Five lockups, one identity
Choose the exported lockup that fits the space. Preserve the supplied artwork, proportions and approved colour treatment.
03 / Space and scale
Give the logo room
One unit x equals 42.667 px on the 128 px symbol canvas. Keep one x on every side. The safe area is 213.333 x 213.333 px; each margin is 33.333% of the canvas width.
Minimum digital widths: horizontalPx: 140px, stackedPx: 155px, wordmarkPx: 100px, symbolPx: 32px, avatarPx: 48px.
- Never stretch, compress or rotate the artwork.
- Never recolour individual pieces or introduce gradients.
- Do not add shadows, bevels, outlines or textures.
- Keep text and other elements outside the clear space.

Logo lettering
Logo lettering: Manrope. Exact supplied paths are outlined; the logo needs no local font.
Assigned marketing typography
Display: Manrope. Body: Inter. See fonts.json for actual files, availability and licence/source details. Source-only system fonts are not redistributed.
Normal text needs at least 4.5:1 contrast. Keep bright accents and patterns clear of dense copy unless the final text/background pair passes that threshold.
05 / Brand in the world
One recognisable voice
A career with chapters
A vertical career spine turns into open page tabs, each carrying one proof point.
Use a strong left reading spine, dated chapters and generous proof blocks; cards echo a folded CV margin.
Keep patterns quiet behind text and preserve readable contrast.
Website QR and letterhead use
This kit: QR at least 20 mm including the 4-module white quiet zone. ECC Q; no logo overlay. Keep the 174 x 210 mm letterhead writing area blank. Print supplied PDFs at actual size and test the final QR. Destination: https://alivecv.com. QR version: 2; data modules: 25. Actual card QR square: 20.0 mm including quiet zone. Writing area starts 18 mm from the left and 54.5 mm from the top of the finished trim. QR source and decode records: collateral/qr-code.json. Letterhead header, footer and writing-area bounds: collateral/stationery-layout.json.
