    Typography is a key visual element of our brand style.  Open Sans, our main corporate typeface, covers over 130 languages and is designed to ensure harmony in terms of functionality and visual representation.

    Open Sans

    Open Sans is our free open-source corporate font and should be used throughout all communications.
    Available in a big range of weights, we recommend using Open Sans Regular (weight 300) for body text.
    Open Sans bold is used for headlines.

    Helvetica

    Helvetica can be used for external communications materials as a headline, sub-heading, titles, introduction and captions. Please note that Helvetica requires font licensing. We highly encourage to use Open Sans and HK Grotesk open-source.

    Hierarchy

    We have three typographic tiers:

    • Headlines: Open Sans bold + HK Grotesk bold

    • Subheader: Open Sans medium + semibold or HK Grotesk bold + semibold

    • Body text:  Open Sans regular + light or HK Grotesk regular

    Kerning

    Kerning adjusts the space between the letterforms. For best visibility, kerning should be set to optical.

    Tracking

    Tracking adjusts spacing over a range of characters. For best legibility it should be set to O.

    Word spacing

    The best correct spacing is 95% for running text and 90% for headlines above 40pt.
