Type Styles

Branded font styles provide a helpful and flexible starting point for designing materials. The styles outlined below are suggestions for hierarchy and should be the starting point for all creative styling. Individual type sizes and leading will vary based on application. The styles below are set up relative to a standard letter-sized printed document and should be scaled, as necessary, for larger sizes. When scaling, the kerning should not be changed.
