# Voice & Tone
|
|
|
|
**Voice (constant):** clear, confident, human.
|
|
**Tone (situational):** warm in onboarding, terse in errors, neutral in data.
|
|
|
|
## Writing rules
|
|
|
|
- Sentence case for headings, buttons, and labels.
|
|
- Active voice. "Save changes" not "Changes will be saved".
|
|
- Lead with what the user gets, not what we did.
|
|
- Numbers as digits (`3 items`, not `three items`).
|
|
- One idea per sentence in error messages.
|
