CANONICAL SPECIFICATION // VERSION 1.0

Hoosier Path Brand Book

Visual, heraldic, typographic, and editorial standards for Hoosier Path and its federated chapters across Indiana. Built for both human designers and autonomous agents.

SECTION 01 // CORE IDENTITY, MOOD & TAGLINE CROSSROADS VANGUARD
01.1 // POSITIONING

High-Craft Civic Modernism

Exposed architectural hairlines, strict modular proportions, heritage Indiana stone & navy tones, and zero decorative clutter.

OFFICIAL MOTTO & WATCHWORD
“No Trespassing”

Always set in either Playfair Display Bold/ExtraBold (for monumental headings) or IBM Plex Mono Uppercase with wide letter-spacing (`0.16em`–`0.20em`) for mastheads, seals, and ribbons.

PRINCIPLE 01

Structural Honesty

Every section uses visible `1px` grid hairlines (`--hairline-light` / `--hairline-dark`). Avoid soft drop-shadows, blurred glassmorphism, or rounded startup pills.

PRINCIPLE 02

Heraldic Discipline

The 5:3 Hoosier Navy & Torch Gold Saltire is our unmistakable standard. Never skew its aspect ratio or alter the `H/5` arm width.

PRINCIPLE 03

Agent-Ready

Every token, SVG asset, and typographic rule is published in deterministic machine-readable formats (`/brand/tokens.json` & `/brand/llms.txt`).

02.1 // GEOMETRY

The 5:3 Saltire Standard

The Hoosier Path flag shares the exact mathematical proportions of the Flag of Scotland (St. Andrew’s Saltire):

  • Proportions: 5:3 (`1000 × 600`)
  • Field: Hoosier Navy (`#0F1E36`)
  • Saltire: Torch Gold (`#D4AF37`)
  • Saltire Width: `1/5` of hoist height (`H ÷ 5 = 120u`)
  • Diagonals: `(0,0)→(1000,600)` & `(1000,0)→(0,600)`

Usage Guardrails

Visual and structural guardrails governing all Hoosier Path publications and assets.

DO // REQUIRED PRACTICE
  • Maintain the exact 5:3 aspect ratio and H/5 diagonal cross width on all flag renderings.
  • Use Hoosier Navy (`#0F1E36`) for the field and Torch Gold (`#D4AF37`) for the Saltire.
  • Pair Playfair Display headings with Source Sans 3 body copy and IBM Plex Mono metadata.
  • Frame content in crisp, visible `1px` architectural grid cells.
DON’T // PROHIBITED
  • Never substitute St. Andrew’s blue or generic royal blue for Hoosier Navy (`#0F1E36`).
  • Never add fimbriation (extra borders) between the Torch Gold Saltire and the Hoosier Navy field.
  • Never use generic SaaS gradients, floating pastel blobs, or rounded pill cards.
  • Never alter the canonical motto “No Trespassing”.
