Our

typography

When used thoughtfully, typography becomes a powerful medium guiding a reader through our content. You can highlight important information, structure the information in hierarchical order (from most to least important), group and differentiate sections, create pull-outs, call-to-actions and attract readers. By formatting your content with typography, you are creating a more inviting space for readers to enjoy. Universal’s typography communicates clearly and cleanly, and is flexible enough to use across all of our collateral.

Alternatively, if you use Nunito Regular 12pt for body copy, use Nunito Bold 14pt for sub-headings and 24pt for headings.
