01 · The name

Kronex is the network. KRNX is the asset.

The single thing most listings get wrong. If it runs, coordinates or settles it is Kronex; if it is held, paid, staked or priced it is KRNX.

Setting it

Kronex is a proper noun in running text — sentence case, never all-caps. KRNX is a ticker: uppercase, monospaced where your house style monospaces tickers, and sitting beside USDT and BTC with identical treatment.

The lockup

One lockup at 3:1, and the mark alone. Those are the only two permitted forms, each in three colourways.

Which colourway

The dark colourway is primary and is the one used in Kronex's own chrome. The green is for contexts this project does not control — an exchange listing, a partner page, a conference backdrop — where a mark is expected to carry colour. The light colourway is the reverse: for dark grounds only, never on Parchment, Cream or Bone. Contrast is not what keeps the green out of the interface: it is legible everywhere. Coherence is.

Minimum lockup height 24px · below that use the mark alone · no colourway may be recoloured to another's ink or to a third colour

At a 96px lockup the mark is 96px tall, so clear space is 48px. Scale the margin with the logo — it is a ratio, not a fixed measure.

03 · Misuse

Seven things not to do

Each panel shows the wrong version. A list of prohibitions gets skimmed; a struck mark does not.

Kronex

Do not split the lockup

The mark beside “Kronex” set in another face is half a logo. Use the lockup or the mark, never a rebuild.

Do not recolour either version to anything but its own ink

Two colourways means two inks: Bistre for the dark, deep green for the alternate. Neither may take a third colour. The four diagram marks never belong to the logo.

Do not place it on an accent fill

Parchment, Cream, Bone or white. The accent colours are never a ground for the logo.

Do not outline it

No hollow, no stroked, no knocked-out version exists. The logo is solid ink.

Do not stretch it off 3:1

The artwork is 2172 × 724, which is 3:1. Constrain by height and let the width follow.

Do not use the green mark inside a Kronex surface

The green colourway is for contexts we do not control. On cream, bone or parchment the dark mark is the only choice.

Infrastructure, coordinated

Do not add a tagline to the lockup

There is no tagline lockup. Set a strapline as ordinary text beside or beneath the logo, outside its clear space.

04 · Colour

Colour

Surfaces and ink do the work. The four marks are dots inside diagrams — never a fill, a border or text.

05 · Typography

Type

Three roles. One of the three is licensed to Kronex only, and this section says which.

Headings
Test Signifier · Noto SerifA serif at regular weight, never bolded. Test Signifier is licensed to Kronex; Noto Serif is the wired substitute and what you should use.
Body and UI
GeistAny neutral grotesque substitutes cleanly. Sentence case throughout.
Data and identifiers
Geist MonoAny monospace substitutes. Tabular figures where numbers align.
