Rules

  1. 01Twelve dashes at exact 30 degree intervals, one gold and longer. Never re-weight it, drop dashes or redraw it.
  2. 02MILLION DOLLAR stays in ink. Only the following word is gold. Always uppercase, letterspaced 0.18em, weight 400.
  3. 03Gold on paper measures 2.28:1, so on light grounds it is display only, never body text or the only carrier of meaning.
  4. 04Gold on ink measures 7.98:1 and passes. When gold must carry weight, set ink on a gold ground.
  5. 05No em dashes, anywhere. Use commas, colons and periods.
