A webpage titled "Voice and tone" features a central text area with a brief description of guidelines for writing and editing communications. On the left side, there is a navigation menu with options like "Getting started," "Help," "FAQs," and "Contributing." Below these, under "BRAND GUIDELINES," are sections for "Brand expressions," "Content style guide," and "Voice and tone." The main content includes an image of an open manuscript, displaying handwritten text in a historical style. The manuscript is attributed to Felice Feliciano da Verona, dated to the 15th century, and is housed in the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford. The overall design has a clean, modern aesthetic with a light green background.
