Neutral ink L<140, approximately 50% edge coverage; original pixels, no interpolation. Approximately ±1 native pixel uncertainty, especially significant on 35px English caps. Vertical probes: D/E/I/T/M/N/U stems. Horizontal probes: E arms, T bar (off-centre), A crossbar. Density is mean filled fraction inside non-I glyph ink boxes (I is excluded because its filled rectangle always reads 100%), not an approval score.

TR1 visible gaps: 27, 22, -4, 65, 26 px. Original ink measure 880 px.

TR2 visible gaps: 58, 80, 64, 62, 80 px. Original ink measure 865 px.

EN visible gaps: 31, 31, 31, 28, 23, 29, 31, 30, 68, 33, 66, 28, 31, 29 px. Original ink measure 855 px.

Requested common width: 881px. Original TR2 and English measures differ, so unified specimens necessarily change spacing; the glyphs never stretch. A negative Y/A bounding-box gap need not mean actual ink collision.

03 / TURKISH · ONE TYPEFACE, SIX WEIGHTS

Compare the weight, then the shape.

Same source flat cap heights: 140px / 139px. Guides mark the shared flat-cap and baseline. Jost’s pointed A/M overshoots are retained and reported, not compressed. Every original/candidate pair uses the identical pixel scale; scroll horizontally on narrow screens. Blue ink overlays the unchanged original at exactly 50% opacity.

06 / REVIEW-ONLY LOCKUPS

Strong Turkish. Lighter English.

Measured-stem review subset: Turkish [500, 550]; English [300, 350]. Two closest sampled stem matches per role—not approved candidates. Shape fidelity remains unresolved. All 24 pairings remain available; changing a preview is not a selection.

Preview only; no winner selected.

Unselected horizontal lockup with canonical seal
Unselected stacked lockup with canonical seal

Open vector wordmark ↗

Exact 400:370 seal geometry, fixed across trials. Established 85px gap / 44px padding. Offset previews move only the wordmark relative to the fixed seal; positive values move it downward. The previous alternatives stay untouched: historical alignment review. No alignment chosen.

07 / LIMITATIONS & VERIFICATION

No claim of exact fidelity.

Jost cannot reproduce this reference by weight changes alone. The actual rendered comparisons show:

  • A: Jost has a pointed, taller apex instead of the source’s small flat top; the triangular counter is larger/taller at 500. The source counter is 34×39px versus 38×44px at 500. The crossbar thickness/height also differs.
  • S: Jost is wider and its upper/lower bowl balance and terminal cuts differ. The source is compact, with a fuller spine; increasing weight changes density but not the same silhouette.
  • D: Jost’s bowl/counter is more open. At 500 the counter is about 69×96px versus the source’s 57×87px. The source stem is 28px; Jost 500 is about 24px.
  • G: decisive structural mismatch: the source has a squared return and vertical inner edge below the bar; Jost continues around a circular lower-right bowl. Jost’s body is also wider: about 141px at 500 versus 128px.
  • M: decisive structural mismatch: the source has upright outer stems, flat shoulders and a blunt central junction. Jost has splayed sides, pointed high shoulders and a sharp lower V. At 500 it is about 153px wide versus 138px.
  • Ğ: inherits G’s mismatch. Jost’s breve is deeper and sits higher than the shallow source cup; its dimensions change with weight.
  • İ: the dot is real and present, but its size and clearance differ by weight. Around 500 the dot is roughly 27×26px versus about 24×24px in the thresholded source.

English: all requested samples remain thinner than the original under the same measurement method. Jost 350 is closest within this set (vertical ≈3.5px vs source ≈5px; horizontal ≈3.25px vs ≈4px), but is not an exact weight match. This is visible as well as measured. The source is still lighter than Turkish in stem/cap ratio and apparent size; that does not mean its font weight number must be 200–350 in Jost.

No single sampled Turkish weight matches both rows perfectly. The source’s D stem in TR1 is about 28px; its E/I/T/M stems in TR2 are about 23px. The 500/550 subset is only an advisory compromise, not a winner. Clean font contours are necessary but do not establish fidelity.

Muse multimodal advisory review: independently flagged A/M/G structure, weight mismatch and English underweight after inspecting the actual rendered comparisons. Not approval. Review and factual reconciliation.
