T YPOGRAPHY GUIDELINES 5

A key element of our new brand

is the typography. By using our
selection of approved typefaces,
you can give our communications
a unified appearance, and give
our brand a distinct personality
in the process.
The typefaces we have chosen, and the way they are applied—
size, weight, color and layout—can have a big impact on our
communications and how clear and engaging they will be.

Our new typefaces include:

Mercury Text G1

M O D U L AT I N G O U R T Y P O G R A P H Y

Just as we can adjust the tone of our voice, the ways that we can
tweak our typography can affect the tone of our messages.
•• Use a straightforward approach for functional or instructional
communications
•• A playful approach can be used for expressive communications
The examples below show four different levels of
communication that can be achieved by modulating/
fine-tuning our typography. Use them as a starting point.
The four levels may be applied in various combinations
to achieve the desired tone.

•• Typography can be adjusted to meet the needs of your project

T YPOGRAPHY GUIDELINES 11

INCORREC T USE OF T YPOGR APHY

It is essential to preserve a clear and effective typographic

language at all times. Our type should maintain a proper
visual balance between headline and body copy.

Primary and secondary typefaces should never be

alternated for one another or mixed. Please do not stretch,
compress, or otherwise morph or manipulate typefaces.
Any modification of our typefaces compromises their
meaning and diminishes their impact.
