Front: top-left B, small white touch with point largely intact; top-right B, slight tip fraying; bottom-left B, small pale touch at the tip; bottom-right D, visibly softened/rounded with exposed white paper across the corner. Back: top-left B, slight tip softening; top-right A, clean square point; bottom-left A, square and clean; bottom-right C, light rounding with a small white patch. Face scores weight the weakest corner; the front D corner independently caps the overall estimate at 4.

Analysis
The full-bleed, asymmetric design does not provide uniform borders for reliable measurements. Front layout appears approximately 50/50 to 55/45 in both directions. Back title margins appear approximately 50/50 left-to-right; vertical alignment appears normal, but a precise top-to-bottom ratio cannot be measured from this design.

Centering accounts for a significant portion of the overall grade. This exceptional score positively impacts the final grade.
