The logo, and how to use it.

These are the official files. Use them as they are — never retype the name in a font, recolor it, or redraw the monogram.

Horizontal — the primary lockup

Site nav, email signature, PDF headers, invoices.

Monogram — always on a filled tile

Favicon and avatars. The tile is part of the mark, so it is opaque in every file and never sits on an unknown background.

Rules

Clear spaceOne cap height of the “J” on all four sides. Nothing crosses it — no rule, no table border, no signature block.
Minimum sizeHorizontal 110 px wide · stacked 84 px wide · monogram 16 px square.
In the site navSet to the nav text’s cap height (8.73 px): 119 px wide, the same optical weight as the links.
TypeArchivo SemiBold, tracked −0.025em. The numeral is IBM Plex Mono Medium at 98.3% of the name’s size, so both cap heights match. Both are SIL Open Font License fonts; every file here is outlined, so no font is needed to open or print it.
ColorThe IV is the only color in the mark. Everything else is ink.
Short formJP IV — in text only: short links, handles, business cards, QR codes, said out loud. The short domain jp-iv.com (once registered) forwards every path to the same page here, so jp-iv.com/call opens the booking page. Never set it as a logo: the IV monogram is the mark, and the full name is the brand.
Don’tStretch, outline, shadow, recolor, or add a tagline. Don’t put the monogram on a transparent background. Don’t build a monogram from “JP”.
