# Aubora — Brand Assets

The brand assets of **Aubora**, a software studio in Paris (aubora.co), and its products **Cerno**, **Meridian**, and **Verto**. This repository exists so design tools and collaborators can pull the canonical assets from one stable, public URL.

## Palette (Bindery)

| Token | Hex | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Burgundy | `#6E2433` | The accent. Links, buttons, flat product surfaces |
| Burgundy deep | `#511A26` | Hover/pressed, dark accents |
| Ink | `#1A1714` | Text |
| Slate | `#5B6068` | Secondary text |
| Gilt | `#B8915E` | Kickers, fine accents |
| Cream | `#F7EFE0` | Tinted surfaces |
| Paper | `#FBF9F4` | Background |
| Line | `#E3DACB` | Hairlines, borders |
| Stone | `#D6CDBD` | Muted furniture |
| Ivory | `#EBD3A2` | The dawn glow |

App-icon tile gradient (Liquid Glass, display-P3): rose `#8E3248` → wine `#5E1A28`.

## Type

- **Newsreader** — display serif (headlines). Installed static cuts register as family “Newsreader 14pt”.
- **Hanken Grotesk** — body sans.
- **IBM Plex Mono** — numbers, kickers, code.

All three are bundled under `fonts/` with their SIL Open Font License (`fonts/OFL.txt`).

## Rules that matter

1. **App icons are iOS 26 Liquid Glass** on the sanctioned glass-burgundy tile (the `.icon` packages are the source of truth). Flat surfaces use flat Burgundy `#6E2433`; never flatten a shipped glass icon.
2. The **Dawn mark** is the group emblem; products keep their own glyphs (Cerno cards, Meridian crest-and-sun curve, Verto arrowheads).
3. An estimate is labelled an estimate: brand voice is calm, exact, selective, warm, enduring. No em dashes.
4. Deployed web assets live at `aubora.co/assets/` with `?v=` cache tokens; this repo is the design-side mirror.
