Hierarchy Discipline
A single asset should use no more than two tiers at once — typically Tier 1 for the headline and Tier 2 for the subtitle. Tier 3 (Bayside) replaces Tier 1 when used; it does not coexist with Berlin in the same primary text block. Tier 4 (VCR OSD Mono) is always a supporting element, never a headline.
Tracking & Weight
Berlin and Bebas Neue carry letter-spacing of +2 to +3px at display sizes — tighter than default and characteristic of the brand's compressed, dense feel. Futura/Jost runs +3 to +5px at subhead sizes to give it the open, airy quality that contrasts with the headline weight. VCR OSD Mono is set at +2px minimum — it needs breathing room to read cleanly.
Color Assignments
Default headline color is white (#ffffff) on dark field. Signal Purple and Signal Teal are used for headlines only when the art or background creates sufficient contrast — avoid both primaries on mid-value backgrounds. Subtitles default to Signal Teal. VCR OSD Mono data text defaults to 60–70% white opacity unless being used as a featured callout.
When Adobe Fonts Are Unavailable
Use the Google Fonts fallbacks without apology — Bebas Neue and Jost Light are strong enough to carry the brand in production contexts. Never substitute a serif or script font regardless of availability. If neither Jost nor Futura is available, Century Gothic is the only acceptable system font fallback for Tier 2. Under no circumstances use Arial, Calibri, or Helvetica Neue as headline substitutes. Share Tech Mono is always available via Google Fonts and requires no fallback.
VCR OSD Mono — Special Use
VCR OSD Mono (free via dafont.com) is not a Tier 4 workhorse — it is a special-use accent reserved for moments where the brand is deliberately leaning into its VHS/retro identity. Appropriate contexts: a "REC ●" recording indicator, anniversary or throwback episodes, a thumbnail built around an intentional nostalgia frame. Because the brand's scan-line and RGB-split visual treatment already carries the CRT/VHS language, do not pair VCR OSD Mono with heavy glitch effects — the combination reads as redundant. Use one or the other to make the period reference, not both.
