What transfers with the domain: a palette, two typefaces already assigned their work, a mark, and the rules that hold them together.

Verdigris is the colour things turn when left alone. It marks entries, carries annotations, and fills the one button. It is never decoration.

The mark is set smaller than a logo would normally be. It is the pencil asterisk you put beside something worth returning to, not a badge.

Unsot is a contraction of unsought. It keeps the meaning and drops the letters nobody says.
