How to cite, link to, and quote The Web4 Bulletin.
The Bulletin is an independent standing publication. This page collects the assets, addresses, and citation conventions we ask outside publications to follow when referencing our work. It is updated each issue cycle.
The wordmark
The publication’s wordmark is the words WEB4 BULLETIN set in Bebas Neue, all caps, on a telegraph-red ribbon (#a01c1c), with the kicker A standing publication · Established 2024 beneath in Special Elite. The ribbon is the publication’s visual signature; reproductions that drop it lose the telegraph identity.
The lockup is reproduced in the Bulletin’s masthead on every page of this site. We do not currently distribute a downloadable SVG of the wordmark; outside publications quoting the Bulletin may use the name as plain text. We treat that as the canonical form. If your publication’s style requires an image asset, contact the press address below.
Brand palette

- Paper —
#f4ede0. Newsprint cream. Background for every layout; never body type. - Ink —

#a01c1c. The publication’s identifying color. Used on the top ribbon, kickers, datelines, and ticker. - Rule —

Typography
The Bulletin sets headlines in Bebas Neue(condensed display, all caps), body in Roboto Slab, and datelines, bylines, and metadata in Special Elite(typewriter). The combination is the publication’s telegraph-wire identity; reproductions that swap any of the three lose the signature.

The shorter form, used in social cards and print blurbs, is The Web4 thesis. A standing publication.
