zeekayandHanzo Dev 0b60fe750c LX is the wordmark short a letter ...

lux.exchange wears two letters, not four. They are the wordmark's own two:
the L is the same string, the X the same path moved 20 to the left. Nothing
is redrawn, so the marks cannot drift apart.

The wordmark's U and X share one path — they touch, and whatever drew the
original unioned them into a single outline — so the cut is at the seam, and
two things had to be decided there. The kern is 20: every letter in the word
sits flush against the next, but doing that here welds the L's foot to the
X's lower arm, because the X arrives at the baseline where the foot already
is. So the fit is taken from what the word does at its tightest instead, 0.73
between that same foot and the U's bowl. Twenty leaves 0.70 and lands the X's
far corner on the box edge, as the wordmark does. And the X's top-left corner
is (38.7,0) rather than the (38.942,0.233) the wordmark writes, which is a
point part-way down the arm's edge where the union chamfered the kiss with
the U — recoverable from the letter's own mirror symmetry about y=8.374.

Past x=38.8, where the wordmark draws nothing but the X, the two outlines
agree to 0.011% of the letter's area. The wordmark's three SVG files are
byte-identical to what they were.
