Fonts

These are the fonts that support a consistent brand in everything we do.

Open Sans

Open Sans is a clean, professional and easily acquired font that contains several different weights and italics for use in any situation. This is a main typeface that can be used for body in any material.

Adobe Garamond Pro

Adobe Garamond Pro is a classy looking serif font for when you need to give a design an extra bit of class and elegance. Use the bold font for headlines. Use it for body copy on more official documents for added gravitas.

Nexa Black

Nexa Black is a thick heavy font mainly used as a headline or display text on promotional materials.

Mission Gothic

Mission Gothic is a nice, condensed font with a bit more character than open sans. It’s sparingly used as a simple accent font in certain situations. It is also the font approved for use in our sub-identities.
