Primary Typography
Sans Serif Font: Source Sans
The Source Sans font family has been chosen not only for its appealing characteristics, but also for its
flexibility for both print and web uses. This is Adobe’s first Open-Source font family and was designed by
Paul D. Hunt. Source Sans offers a wide variety of weights—from extra-light to black—for greater control
of word emphasis at the various point sizes.
This font family can be used both for body text (Light and Regular weights) and as display/headline text.
