The selected light-touch wordmark
The second c nestles into the n, carving a small curved clearance at their join.
Ten versions of the small buckle
Compare the fastening where the n meets the c. Each version appears at a large size and a smaller navigation size. Choose a number to refine.
01. Original buckle
The compact rectangular fastening from option 2.
02. Fine frame
A lighter outline makes the fastening quieter.
03. Rounded buckle
Soft corners follow the curves of the letters.
04. Square clasp
A square fastening gives the join more weight.
05. Long keeper
A longer, flatter loop suggests a strap keeper.
06. Upright buckle
A vertical frame makes the connection feel snug.
07. Angled fastening
A slight tilt gives the join a sense of pull.
08. Twin keeper
Two narrow loops suggest the hardware of a cinch.
09. Buckle tongue
A short central tongue makes the belt reference clearer.
10. Solid clasp
A compact solid connector gives the smallest sizes more presence.
Three ways to cinch the wordmark
Each option brings the n and c together to suggest a snug fastening. The light-touch direction above is now selected for the website.
1. A light touch
A tighter join between the n and c. The familiar wordmark, with a subtle sense of tension.
2. A small buckle
A compact fastening at the join gives the belt reference a little more character.
3. An interlock
The c tucks into the n with a slight turn, suggesting the two letters being pulled together.
Choose 1, 2 or 3. These are typographic directions; the selected join will be refined consistently for small sizes.
