Typography

Space Grotesk for headlines, DM Sans for everything that needs reading.

Two typefaces

Space Grotesk speaks. DM Sans explains. Nothing else substitutes for them, with one exception: client-facing documents may use Arial.

Together

On a Mauve ground, the second line of a headline can be picked out in Sunset (5.3:1, AA). On light grounds keep the whole headline in Mauve or Off-Black.

Headlines run in Space Grotesk at Medium weight. Body copy sets in DM Sans at regular weight, in sentence case, never in capitals.

Font files

Both families are open source (SIL Open Font License) and free to install.

The Google Fonts pages give you desktop installers (TTF) for Word, Figma and Keynote. The WOFF2 files below are the web versions kept in the brand brain and used by this hub.

Guidance

Space Grotesk is the primary typeface — a modern, clean, highly legible sans-serif used for headlines, key messaging, and digital applications (Brand Guidelines p.14). DM Sans is the secondary typeface for body text and longer-form content, adding a refined, humanist warmth (p.15). Arial is used only for client-facing documents; all marketing materials use the brand fonts.
