It is available in a wide range of weights and characters and flexes across digital and print applications. The Regular version of the font comes in an Off White option specifically drawn to be used as a knockout over black and our gradients.

Accessibility compliance


All our background colors have been tested to make sure our web-based design applications meet the WCAG 2.1 AA technical standards. Follow these suggestions to ensure compliance:

Use white text over:
  • black
  • gradients
  • images
Use black type over:
  • white
  • gray (up to 50%)
Special accessibility compliance note for copy over gradients:
  • Bright gradient 1 should only be used for headlines and avoiding the yellow area of the gradient.
  • Dark gradients and bright gradients 2 and 3 can be used with any size text.
  • Bright gradient 4 can be used with headlines overall, but regular copy should not be placed on the green area.

Additional fonts


Our system font is Arial. Use it in general business communications, including PowerPoint and Word documents, to ensure consistency and to avoid inadvertent font changes.
