_ASSETS

Shared fonts and logos for every document in DOCUMENTATION PROJECT. The build engine (_STANDARDS/mpmdoc) reads from here; project folders should never keep their own copies.

_ASSETS/
  mpm/                     ← Message Point Media (default brand)
    logos/png/             24 raster logos (documents, screen)
    logos/svg/             40 vector logos (print, large format, drawings)
    fonts/                 official variable TTFs + OFL licences
      web/                 JetBrains Mono source + static/ (generated Latin-subset weights)
      fonts_embed.css      GENERATED: what the engine inlines into PDFs
      make_embed.py        regenerates web/ and fonts_embed.css
      cjk/                 MPM SC: Noto Sans CJK SC (SIL OFL), GB2312 cut, TrueType outlines,
                           for Chinese editions (standard §12); make_cjk.py rebuilds it

Source: the mpm-brand-voice plugin kit, which mirrors the MPM Logos Drive folder (01 New Logos > PNG / SVG) and Google Fonts. Update the plugin or Drive first, then re-copy here.

Use File
Document header on white (engine default) logos/png/Logo-Gold-Black.png
Dark title block, dark banner, cover on Ink logos/png/Logo-Gold-White.png
Single-colour black print / fax / legal logos/png/Logo-Black-Text.png
Icon only on a dark background logos/png/Logo-White-Cutout.png
Transit-agency proposal / sell sheet, light background logos/png/MPM-Transitpoint-Dark.png
Same, dark background logos/png/MPM-Transitpoint-Light.png
Drawings (DWG title block), print the matching .svg in logos/svg/
Transit product sub-brands (Smart Stop, Mobile, MPRail …) logos/svg/ only, always alongside the MPM logo

Note: Logo-Standard-Dark.png is labelled the "default" in the brand plugin, but the file is the dark-icon variant (no gold). Documents use Logo-Gold-Black.png, which is the version on every document built so far.

Rules:

  • Never put a dark-text logo on a dark background.
  • Don't stretch, recolour or add effects.
  • Keep clear space equal to the height of the M icon.
  • "Powered by MPM" (Logo-Powered) is for partner/OEM use only.

Fonts

Role Family File
Headings, kickers, labels, captions Montserrat fonts/Montserrat-wght.ttf (+ Italic)
Body Open Sans fonts/OpenSans-wght.ttf (+ Italic)
Numbers, dimensions, part numbers, calcs JetBrains Mono fonts/web/JetBrainsMono-wght-latin.woff2
  • All three are variable fonts: one file per family covers every weight.
  • Montserrat and Open Sans are the MPM brand fonts. JetBrains Mono is the documentation standard's addition for numeric content.
  • Never substitute Arial, Calibri or a system font.
  • To install them on your Mac (for Word, Keynote, etc.), double-click the .ttf files.

After replacing any font file:

pip install fonttools brotli
python3 _ASSETS/mpm/fonts/make_embed.py
