Newsreader and IBM Plex carry institutional weight in places that need it — donor decks, annual report, legal-rights programming, foundation grants. The tape splice carries broadcast voice in places that need that — YouTube, Shorts, sermon bumpers, podcast clips, SMS drops. The brand never has to apologize for either.
The Affidavit's three declaration lines (record · interruption · restoration) crossed by the Field Recording vertical splice cut. Reads as both the document and the broadcast — wordless, scalable from favicon to billboard.
The Affidavit palette (Court Paper / Witness Red / Aged Brass) is not imported. Hybrid keeps Field Recording's full color logic — Night Ink + Warm Paper give the type its breathing room, Tape Orange is the broadcast accent, Faded Blue handles secondary stamps. The Affidavit shows up exclusively in the type system and the document register, never the color.
Newsreader 800 carries the editorial gravity. The orange tape strip across the bottom is the channel signature — recognizable at any scroll speed. Faded Blue stamp for the "place + time" tag. This is the move that makes the brand work in a feed AND on a foundation board's letterhead.
Every gift carries the testimony further than the sentence did. Prison reintegration, Atlanta street outreach, Kenya and Dominican missions, AI education, constitutional rights and credit restoration — funded by people who decided this story should be heard and recorded.
Header = ▶ tape number + case file type (the dual register stamped into one line). Body = Newsreader italic — like a man telling you something you should write down. Tape Orange ▶ leads every link. Faded Blue stays in print only — never SMS. The brand asks the reader to slow down enough to hear it.
