# Rbux Brand Voice

> Casual and apologetic with a playful, slightly irreverent edge.

## Positioning
Rbux appears to be a digital platform or service (likely finance or rewards based on the name) that prioritizes a low-friction, human-centric relationship with its users. It positions itself as approachable rather than corporate.

## Voice principles
- **Informal:** Uses conversational interjections like "Oops" to soften technical friction.
- **Playful:** Employs puns or wordplay (e.g., "rBAD") to acknowledge system failures with humor.
- **Helpful:** Provides clear, immediate next steps when things go wrong.
- **Direct:** Uses simple, active verbs like "Go to" and "Refer to" for navigation.

## Tone by context
| Context | Tone |
|---|---|
| Error states | Self-deprecating, apologetic, and instructional. |
| Navigation | Functional and concise. |

## Lexicon
- **Use:** Oops, refer to, persists, contact us.
- **Avoid:** System failure, fatal error, unauthorized access, terminal.

## Messaging do's and don'ts
- **Do:** Use the "r" prefix for brand-specific states (e.g., rBAD).
- **Do:** Use exclamation points to signal energy or emphasis in headlines.
- **Do:** Provide a clear path to support if an issue "persists."
- **Don't:** Use overly technical jargon that might alienate a casual user.
- **Don't:** Be robotic. Use "Please" and "Oops" to maintain a human feel.

## Evidence
