Typography

Manrope for everything, Playfair italic for one phrase.

Two faces. Manrope does the work; Playfair appears once per headline to give a line an edge that a bold weight cannot. Most brands reach for a third typeface at exactly the point where they should be cutting words instead.

The faces

  • Manrope

    Everything

    Excellence is a standard, not a slogan.

    Headlines, body, navigation, labels. One family across four weights does the whole job, and the restraint is the point.

  • Playfair Display Italic

    One phrase

    clarity, precision and results

    Loaded in italic alone. It marks a single phrase inside a headline and never runs longer than that.

    next/font/google as --font-serif — italic only

The scale

Six roles. If a piece of text is not one of these, it is body.

Never

Playfair is loaded in italic only. Setting it upright falls back to Georgia and quietly changes the brand. If a design calls for an upright serif, the answer is that it does not.

Rules

Do: One hero-size headline per page. Everything under it steps down.

Do: Colour the italic phrase with the accent cut that matches its background.

Do: Keep labels to a few words at 0.18em tracking, uppercase.

Do: Let body text breathe at 1.7 line height and stop lines around 70 characters.

Do not: Do not italicise a whole sentence. One phrase, inside a headline.

Do not: Do not add a third typeface, including for a single asset.

Do not: Do not set body copy below 16px on a marketing page.

Do not: Do not use tight tracking on small text. It is for display sizes only.
