Font Families

  • NevisBold for Large Headings
    Headings that use NevisBold should always be transformed to all uppercase letters. Font weight should be “normal” because NevisBold is already a bold font. Always use letter spacing of 2px. Smaller headings do not use NevisBold. See headings CSS code for more details.
  • Trebuchet for Body
    Trebuchet for normal body paragraphs and “small body” paragraphs should always be #424242, which is a very dark gray. The reason for this is to provide more contrast with headings to make the headings “pop” more. See body CSS code for more details.
