## Zahlon Study identity

Original geometric gateway/Z monogram and custom-composed vector wordmark, created for this project. Wordmark uses outlined DM Serif Display and Manrope glyphs under the included OFL licences. Assets: logo-dark.svg, logo-light.svg, logo-mark.svg, PNG counterparts, favicon.svg and 192/512/1024px app-icon PNGs. Source generator: scripts/make_brand.py. The gateway echoes the architectural framing in the website and represents a new chapter; the muted-gold baseline gives the mark a distinct signature.
