Everything you need to write about Undercut, correctly.

Logos, colours, type and an approved description. Take what you need — no permission required for editorial or integration use. If something here is missing or ambiguous, ask and we will add it rather than leave you guessing.

Name

The product is Undercut. One word, capital U, no styling — not UnderCut, not undercut.sh, not Undercut.ai. Lowercase undercut is correct only when it is set in the wordmark itself or appears in a command, path or package name.

The free skill that the product is built around is first-pass in prose and firstpass as an identifier, which is also the name of the open-source repository. The two are not interchangeable: Undercut is the product, first-pass is the skill file.

One-liner and boilerplate

Copy these verbatim. They are the same strings used on the site, so quoting them keeps your copy and ours in agreement.

Cost and pass-rate figures change as benchmarks are re-run, so please take any number from the landing page or the benchmark methodology at the time of writing rather than from an older article. Every claim traces to a public, reproducible harness with deterministic graders.

Logo

Two marks. The logomark is the bars-and-slash glyph on its own, for avatars, favicons and anywhere the name already appears beside it. The horizontal lockup pairs the mark with the wordmark and is the default for documents, decks and partner pages.

Using the marks

• Do keep clear space around the mark equal to the height of one bar.
• Do place the mark on #f2f0ec, #fbfaf8, #1c2027 or white. On any other ground, use the single-colour version in #13161b or #f2f0ec.
• Do scale it no smaller than 20 px tall for the logomark, 120 px wide for the lockup.
• Don't recolour the mark outside the palette below, add effects, outline it, or rotate it.
• Don't stretch, condense or rebuild the lockup — the spacing is part of the mark.
• Don't set the mark over a photograph, or over the bright side of one.

Colour

Ink on warm paper, with one accent per model tier. Every pair below is measured against WCAG 2.2 AA and checked automatically on every change to the site.

The three accents above are the display values, cleared for strokes, fills and large type. For small text each has a darker variant for light grounds and a lighter one for dark grounds, because no single value clears AA on both:

Small-text variants of the three accents.

Role	On light	On dark
Secondary text	#61656c	#9a9ea4
Cheap tier, small text	#007a80	#03969d
Frontier tier, small text	#a35c0f	#c4741b
Verified, small text	#287c42	#359954

Typography

Bricolage Grotesque sets everything that is read as language — headlines, body copy, buttons. Fragment Mono sets everything that is read as data — labels, figures, code, terminal output, eyebrow text. Both are open-licensed and available from Google Fonts, so you can reproduce a page without asking us for a font file.

Headlines run at weight 500 with tight tracking (about −0.03 em). Body copy is weight 400 at a 1.6–1.65 line height. Mono labels are uppercase, 11–12 px, tracked out about 0.08 em. If you only take one rule: language in the sans, numbers in the mono.

Photography

Where we use photography it is warm daylight, one subject, one action, and a great deal of empty space — documentary rather than staged. No neon, no holograms, no glowing interfaces, no circuitry. If you are producing something co-branded and want the full direction, including the camera and lighting specification, ask and we will send it.

Press and partner contact
