THE NOUN PRESS · DROP 001 · CC0
Fifty real Nouns, remixed into unofficial place portraits through local materials and campus design research. Take a stamp, wear a profile, hang a wallpaper, or collect a free Tezos edition.
A school is more than a logo. A Noun is permission to keep building.
River light, limestone, pine, transit, weather, type, and a print lab at 2 a.m. become the field around fifty characters assembled from official Nouns CC0 traits. They are place portraits—not redrawn mascots.
OFFICIAL TRAITS · OPEN DNA
Every character uses the checked-in Nouns trait system: pixel body, accessory, head, and noggles. PointCast adds the campus-place field, editorial name, print texture, profile crop, and wallpaper.
TEZOS · OPEN PRESS
Every field is prepared as a free Tezos edition: 100 copies maximum, one per wallet, no sale price. The collector pays network gas only. Downloads remain free whether or not you mint.
