Orphograph

# Brand guide.

Established 2026. An empirical notary.

## 1 · The office in one line

Orphograph is a Bitcoin-anchored notary that issues receipts proving a file existed at a specific moment, without the file itself ever leaving the customer's device.

## 2 · Name

Orphograph. One word. No hyphen. No camel case. Lowercase in prose unless leading a sentence. The possessive is "Orphograph's"; the plural is not used. The shorter institutional form used in the office's own voice is "the office".

## 3 · Establishment

Established 2026. The protocol source code, the verifier kit, and the first publicly addressable receipt are matters of public record.

## 4 · Colour palette

The palette is institutional and intentionally narrow.

Cream
#f7f1e3
Ink
#14110d
Confirm green
#3a6a4c

No additional accent colours are sanctioned. Greys and warm off-whites derived from the cream surface are acceptable for secondary type.

## 5 · Typography

A classical, book-weight serif is used throughout — EB Garamond is the reference. Any equivalent serif at regular or medium weight is an acceptable substitute. No third-party brand-font reference is used. Body copy is set at a comfortable reading measure with generous leading. Display weights and italic small caps are reserved for the opening line of a section.

## 6 · The seal

The institutional seal is the primary mark. It is supplied at 1254 by 1254 pixels with a transparent background and should be reproduced without modification. The seal may be placed on a cream or near-white surface; it should not be placed on a dark surface, recoloured, or composited with other glyphs. A display variant at 600 by 600 pixels is supplied for in-line editorial use.

## 7 · The lockup

The wordmark lockup combines the seal with the word "Orphograph" set in the institutional serif. It is supplied at 1736 by 906 pixels with a transparent background. Do not re-typeset the wordmark; use the supplied artwork.

## 8 · Acceptable use

- Editorial illustration of articles that discuss Orphograph or its receipts.
- Reference in reviews, comparisons, and academic work.
- Reproduction at any size, provided clear space equal to one quarter of the mark's height is preserved on all sides.

## 9 · Unacceptable use

- Recolouring the seal or the wordmark.
- Re-typesetting the wordmark in a different face.
- Placing the mark on a busy background that reduces legibility.
- Implying an endorsement, partnership, or certification that has not been issued in writing by the office.
- Use as a product mark on third-party goods or services.

## 10 · Voice

The office writes in an institutional register: plain, declarative, technical where precision requires it. The first person plural is avoided. Exclamation is avoided. The instrument is described in narrow terms — a cryptographic attestation of file existence by a moment in time — and is not claimed to be a legal opinion, a content-authenticity verdict, or a judgment about how a file was made.

## 11 · Licence

Protocol source code is published under the MIT licence and is available on the public source tree. The brand — name, seal, wordmark, lockup, voice, written copy, and the visual system described in this guide — is reserved. The brand is not part of the MIT-licensed code release.
