The Phosra brand.
Logos, marks, colors, typography, and usage guidelines for press, partners, and adopters. The brand follows the v1.0 Phosphor scheme — phosphor green signal on deep ink canvas, with three sober fonts.
Wordmark + Mark.
Four assets — the wordmark and the standalone mark, each in a white and a dark variant. Download the SVG that matches your background.
The nine atoms.
The 9 named capabilities are the visual atoms of the brand. Single-weight wireframe SVGs, 1.5px stroke, square line caps. Use them as POWERED BY OCSS badges, in registry listings, on conformance reports, and as the visual mark beside any capability name.

OCSS §10Phosphor on deep ink.
The palette is monochromatic dark + one signal green + four muted network accents.
The brand color. Used sparingly — eyebrows, pills, the one CTA per fold, glyph fills.
Used for capability tints and chart series. Always sparing.
The light canvas the whole site now runs on. Used across every surface, with the bone note reserved for one warm manifesto moment per page.
Three families, three jobs.
Each family carries a distinct register. Don't mix them — display, body, mono.
High-contrast modern serif. The “engraved certificate” type. Used for hero headlines so the brand reads as a notarial document, not another tech startup. Variable weight, italic available. Free via Google Fonts.
Define once. Protect everywhere.
The United States Web Design System body font. Literal civic-infrastructure type. Phosra implements OCSS, an open public-interest standard; pairing with the public-government font is conceptually aligned and visually distinctive. Variable weight 300-900. Free via Google Fonts.
OCSS is the open registry of age-appropriate-design rules that browsers, app stores, routers, and operating systems can implement verbatim. Phosra is its reference implementer.
Honest engineering monotype with the right amount of personality. Used for eyebrows, protocol labels, data, code citations. Free via Google Fonts.

phosra check --rule algo_feed_controlFive roles, never decorative.
Every status-bearing element picks a role from this five-role vocabulary. The signal green is sacred — only LIVE pulses.
Actively notarizing right now. The only role that glows.

- Use the wordmark on dark canvas by default

- Use emoji anywhere
- Stretch, skew, or recolor the wordmark or mark
- Use the signal green for "feature enabled" — only for live, signed events

- Use stock photography or AI-generated imagery of children
Two marks. One owner each.
Phosra protects its own wordmark and mark.The Phosra wordmark and the standalone mark above are Phosra's trademarks. Use them to refer to Phosra; don't stretch, skew, or recolor them, and don't imply endorsement.
The OCSS conformance mark is OCSS-owned.OCSS is the open standard, owned by no one vendor — Phosra is its reference implementer, not its owner. The “POWERED BY OCSS” and any OCSS conformance mark belong to OCSS and are earned through conformance, not issued by Phosra. See the trademark policy for permitted use of each.
