04 — Voice

Voice & tone

Kastly is confident and curious. We celebrate the people behind the mic, and we keep technology out of the way.

Confident, not loud

Short sentences. Strong verbs. We say what we mean and trust the listener to catch up.

Warm, not casual

We talk about audio with care. We avoid slang that excludes broadcasters who built this medium.

Specific, not corporate

We name stations, hosts, and listeners. We swap “content” for “shows”, “users” for “listeners”.

05 — Usage

Do & don’t

A short list keeps the brand consistent across community stations, partner sites, and press.

Do
  • Use the brand red as a confident accent — never as a full background behind text.

  • Maintain clear space around the logo equal to the height of the “k”.

  • Pair the wordmark with the mark only when explicitly needed for context.

  • Use approved color combinations only.

Don’t
  • Don’t recolor the logo outside of the approved variants.

  • Don’t apply drop shadows, outlines, or gradients to the mark.

  • Don’t place the dark logo on busy or low-contrast backgrounds.

  • Don’t stretch, rotate, or distort the wordmark.

06 — Press
