Typography

Approved fonts and type styles for usage in Nine Labs digital products.


Headings

Headings use Fira Sans and range from 64px for h1 to 18px for h6. Note that the h4 and h5 headings are the same font-size, but different styles. The h4 heading is set to uppercase using text-transform: uppercase and is set to be the Brand Pink color, while the h5 heading follows the pattern and style from the other headings. This is so we can easily create the emphasis we want in various circumstances.

The Highlight Bar

When headings h1, h2, or h3 are used at the top of a page or the beginning of a new section of content you should include the Highlight Bar above the hx element. The bar automatically resizes to 18% of the heading’s container width, with a minimum width of 90px.

Note: The Highlight Bar is not to be used with h4, h5, or h6 level headings.
