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   surface, paper
  Ink            #14110d   primary type
  Confirm green  #3a6a4c   attestation, the receipt mark

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

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
