BOB'S
GARAGE

A single horizontal wordmark set in Inter Variable Bold at maximum optical weight, with a custom ob-ligature in 'Bob's' where the terminal stroke of the first 'o' flows directly into the ascending stem of the 'b' without a gap, creating a fused, circuit-like glyph. The 'b' terminals are cut to perfectly horizontal flat ends, removing all calligraphic trace. Kerning between 'b' and 's' in 'Bob's' is tightened by -28 units to lock the cluster into a single visual mass. A single hairline underline — matched exactly to the stroke weight of the Inter stroke at 2px rendered weight — runs the full width of the wordmark below the baseline. The terminal period of 'Garage' is replaced by a solid #F97316 dot at 8px diameter, sitting precisely on the baseline to signal diagnostic completion. This marks the space this community's growth now requires: a shop identity that reads as infrastructure, not personality.

The wordmark 'Bob's Garage' is rendered in two distinct optical sizes on a single baseline: 'Bob's' in Inter Variable ExtraBold at full cap height, and 'Garage' in Inter Variable Regular at 78% of that height, both left-aligned and separated by exactly one en-space, creating a diagnostic readout hierarchy that mirrors how a technician labels a system component versus its sub-classification. The ob-ligature in 'Bob's' is executed by extending the counter of the 'o' rightward into a shared vertical stem that initiates the 'b', reducing the two glyphs to a single closed-form unit. Horizontal terminal cuts on both 'b' letterforms signal machined precision. The underline rule begins flush at the leftmost stroke of 'B' and terminates with a 4px #F97316 square cap — not a rounded end — directly beneath the last stroke of 'Garage', substituting a square diagnostic marker for a conventional terminating ornament.

The wordmark is set entirely in Inter Variable Bold, with 'Bob's' and 'Garage' stacked in two horizontal lines, left-aligned, with 'Bob's' at 140% the point size of 'Garage', creating a top-weighted composition that reads as a classification label rather than a decorative logotype. The ob-ligature in 'Bob's' shares a unified stem, and both 'b' characters carry mechanically-horizontal terminals. The baseline underline rule spans only the width of 'Garage' — the narrower of the two lines — anchoring the lower text block and leaving 'Bob's' structurally unsupported above it, which creates visual tension that resolves into stability once the eye registers the stacked system. The #F97316 dot sits at the far right of the 'Garage' underline, at the intersection of the rule and the rightmost glyph boundary, functioning as a termination marker that signals the diagnostic record is complete.

A single-line wordmark in Inter Variable Black sets 'BOB'S GARAGE' in all-caps at uniform weight, leveraging the typeface's optical authority at maximum weight to communicate institutional permanence rather than personality. All-caps removes the apostrophe hierarchy problem and allows the ob-ligature to operate as a purely structural decision — the shared counter-stem between 'O' and 'B' is visible as a deliberate engineering choice rather than a decorative flourish. Horizontal terminals on both 'B' characters are maintained. The kerning between 'B' and 'S' in 'BOB'S' is tightened to -32 units. The underline rule runs the full wordmark width at 3px — heavier than the 2px used in other concepts, consistent with the heavier Black weight stroke — and the #F97316 dot is 9px diameter, scaled proportionally to the larger stroke weight, sitting at the rule's right end.

The wordmark 'Bob's Garage' is set in Inter Variable SemiBold — a deliberate choice of mid-weight over bold, signaling confidence through restraint rather than declaration, consistent with the Mentor archetype's authority-through-specificity tone. 'Bob's' and 'Garage' are set on a single line with a deliberate em-space separation, giving the eye a measurable pause between the personal identifier and the service classification, mirroring the structure of a technician's verbal briefing: subject, then function. The ob-ligature is present, both b-terminals are horizontal, and the bs kerning is tightened. The underline rule is a 1.5px hairline — the thinnest structurally viable weight — running full width, emphasizing that the grounding is structural rather than decorative. The #F97316 dot at 5px sits on the baseline at the rule's right end, small enough to require a second look, which is the correct behavior for a diagnostic marker in a professional context.
