Words define us. What we say is who we are. Typography gives personality and nuance to what we say. Our typography works through the combination and balance of two typefaces.

Publico Headline Bold Italic
Publico Headline, a modern serif, is our primary headline typeface. It exudes approachable authority and looks established. It is sophisticated and confident but conversational.

Synthese is a modern, clean, and efficient typeface. It is a great compliment to Publico Headline.
These specific choices give our designs a consistent look and feel. Please do not deviate outside of these options. For certain applications where our primary and secondary typefaces aren’t available for all users, please refer to the secondary typefaces below.
PLEASE NOTE: Typography is most often represented in graphite (#36312D) or white (#FFFFFF).
When our primary typefaces are not available for use, please refer to secondary typefaces.
Certain applications such as Word, PowerPoint, or email should use default secondary typefaces to ensure viewers have a consistent display of elements. If primary typefaces are used, there is a risk of text shifting or not displaying as intended if the fonts are not installed on the viewer’s device.
SECONDARY HEADLINE TYPEFACE
Georgia Bold
Georgia Bold Italic
SECONDARY BODY COPY TYPEFACE
Arial Regular
Arial Oblique
Arial Bold
Arial Bold Oblique
Clear and consistent use of our typographic style strengthens our message and creates familiarity with our brand. The examples here show how to use our primary and secondary typefaces while reinforcing our brand voice and personality.
Publico Bold, set in sentence case, is used for all featured headlines. Headlines should be significantly larger than sub-headlines and usually set in graphite (#36312D) or knocked out of a color field or image.
Synthese is used for most other copy aside from headlines. Please refer to the breakdown below for the recommended type styles within layouts.
Typography should have a hierarchy to lead the viewer through the content. The contrast between styles will help organize content allowing for a better user experience.
PLEASE NOTE: Synthese is always set at –10 pt tracking unless it is treated as a chapter head in which case it’s always capped and set at 100 pt tracking
