Three completely different aesthetics — different palettes, different fonts, different registers. Each one is a candidate Wagner brand, not three flavours of the same idea.
No lines. No boxes. No frames, chevrons, monograms-in-stamps, or geometric ornaments. Every mark is pure typography.
Display: Oswald 700, condensed sans.
Tracking: tight, -0.04em on display.
Fallbacks: Impact, Arial Narrow.
Production master uses Druk Wide or Knockout 50 Welterweight. Outline type at handoff. No drop-shadows, no outlines, no fills besides Ink.
Display: Playfair Display 600.
Italic: Playfair Display Italic 500, Brass.
Fallbacks: Cormorant Garamond, Georgia.
For print, swap to Canela or GT Sectra (paid, magazine-grade serifs). Italic only on the descriptor — never on the wordmark.
Display: Geist Mono 500.
Body: Geist Mono 400.
Fallbacks: JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Mono, SF Mono.
Stays mono everywhere. No proportional sans for any brand surface. Mint is sparing — used for status pills, dashboard accents, never type.
