Just as we choose different words to convey different messages and different verbal constructions to address different audiences, the typeface we use can have a profound effect on our messaging. Typography helps determines how our brand’s voice comes across to readers. Our three typefaces have been strategically chosen to ensure an appropriate tone for our messages.

Primary font

Tiempos

Tiempos is a modern serif typeface that’s contemporary and legible. This typeface is reserved for headlines and subheads.

Body copy font
