Revision 1 / completed

Create a new regular N SVG pass with no visible outer circles and a more mechanically constrained middle diagonal.

Refine the N so the outer stems feel slightly rounded and mechanically formed while the middle diagonal remains the distinctive constrained, awkward, object-driven feature.

Changes

Soften the circle rule from a hard construction constraint to an optional detail used only where it improves the glyph.
Remove or hide explicit ring cues from the outer vertical strokes so they read as rounded metal members, not circular components.
Make the middle diagonal stricter: visibly jointed, subtly bent, and driven by hinge movement rather than typographic smoothness.
Preserve the graphite-black metallic depth, highlights, hinge pins, and shadowed joins from the current direction.

Path

Revise the regular N by simplifying the outer stems into lightly rounded metal bars and exaggerating the constrained hinge logic only in the middle diagonal.

Studio Owner: Not every letter needs a circle. It is not a hard constraint. Only use circles where they make sense. In the uppercase N, the outer lines may be slightly rounded because the circles are invisible to the observer; keep the quirky middle line driven by the object movement constraint.
