Typography

The physical appearance of typography — the size, colour, and most certainly the font – plays an incredibly important role in the way in which written pieces come across.

The primary typeface for you to remember for all our communications is FF Nort.

Formatting 

For headlines or copy using Regular font weights, you can use the default font kerning (spacing between the letters) which is typically ‘0’. When using Medium, Bold, Black or Ultra font weights, the kerning can be reduced to bring the letters closer together as per the example shown below. In Indesign or Illustrator typically you can make the kerning value ‘-30’, but that value may vary on other platforms depending on how they measure it.’

Using Complimentary Fonts

Complimentary fonts can be used however please use sparingly. They work best for short titles or headlines.

Avoid using multiple fonts and styles that clash. Avoid using formal script fonts. Instead use a script font that looks natural and dynamic. 

Using a combination of FF Nort and a single complimentary font creates a balanced composition. In this example, FF Nort is used for all supporting copy, maintaining brand consistency.
