Twelve ways to say KWL.

Different fonts, different postures. Cycle the paintbrush — every concept is built on palette inks, so each one can be judged across all five palettes. Nº 10 and 11 borrow the block language from the machines.

Nº 12 · The full nameLibre Caslon italic — say the whole thing; KWL becomes the short form, not the mark

Shortlist a number (or a pairing — e.g. Nº 10 as the mark, Nº 02 as the masthead) and I'll refine it into the real lockup: spacing, sizes, favicon, footer and report-cover variants.
