Typography

Typography plays an important role in communicating an overall tone and quality. Careful use of typography reinforces our personality and ensures clarity and harmony in all communications.

While the fonts below are preferred when possible, they are not required in all situations. For example, if you are simply adding your event details to the templates provided on this site, it would be fine to substitute another font. Font faces such as Helvetica or Arial would work well.

Header and Paragraph Font

Bariol

Use the Bariol font as a header for main ideas at the top of paragraphs of text.

For headings, avoid setting it in normal caps. Instead, always set it in uppercase/all caps.

We use Bariol as a flexible font; it works for headings as well as in paragraphs.

Display Font

Garlic Butter

Use the Garlic Butter font as the display font. Set it large and use it decoratively.

The display font also works well as an alternate header font. This helps bring in some variety.

Avoid using it in paragraphs.

Fonts in Use

Here is one possible way to use our fonts in a design layout. This layout establishes a clear hierarchy between different levels of content. A clear distinction is established between the display, the header, and the paragraphs. Maintaining such a distinction like this will support clarity in communication.

Main Heading

Secondary Heading

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris tincidunt eros vel dui sollicitudin blandit. Proin iaculis tincidunt feugiat. Phasellus vel eros vitae nibh vulputate rhoncus vel mollis ligula. Donec fermentum dictum est sed vestibulum.

This is a Subheader

Fusce finibus aliquam justo, vitae maximus ex commodo vitae. Morbi varius dignissim erat. Vestibulum ante felis, tempor ut magna et, consequat iaculis erat. Donec quis urna ex.

Logo Guidelines

Logo Clearance Margins

It is important to keep the logo clear of every other kind of graphic element. To regulate this, a minimum margin has been established. Use half the height of the icon portion of the logo to calculate the margin. For example, if the icon portion of the logo is one inch tall, then no other elements should be placed within one-half inch of the logo.

The graphic elements which should be kept away from the logo include:

Logo Presentation

Often the logo will be used on all sorts of backgrounds, like photographs. However, there are times when the logo will be presented with brand colors. In such instances, select these recommended colors to help retain a sense of memorability, and cohesion.
