Use of our brand

The Founders & Frequencies wordmark and the dark/gold lockup may be used to credit, link to, or refer to coverage on the publication. They may not be used to imply endorsement of a third-party product, event, label, or person. They may not be modified, recolored, or set as part of another brand's lockup without written permission.

When referring to the publication in prose, the preferred form on first use is "Founders & Frequencies"; subsequent references may use "the publication." We do not use ALL CAPS for the name except inside a kicker or in monospaced display contexts.

Republication

Quoting up to 200 words of any piece, with attribution and a link to the original, is permitted. Republication of full pieces requires written permission. Translations require written permission and accompanying language QA — we have caught enough machine-translation slippage to insist on this.

Citation format

Suggested form: Author (Year). "Title". Founders & Frequencies. URL.

For radio, podcasts, and broadcast

Spoken pronunciation of the publication name is straightforward: "Founders and Frequencies." The ampersand is written, not spoken.
