Fonts
Primary font
Our primary font is Helvetica Neue LT Standard, which has many weights and variants. It is advised that not all of these are used. The following are recommended:
-
35 Thin / 36 Thin Italic
-
45 Light / 46 Light Italic
-
55 Roman / 56 Italic
-
65 Medium / 66 Medium Italic
-
75 Bold / 76 Bold Italic
Condensed faces, such as 47 Light Condensed, can also be used, mainly where there is a large amount of body copy and limited space, and keeping the number of pages to a minimum is a priority.

Secondary font
Arial is our secondary brand font. It must only be used where Helvetica Neue LT cannot be, such as in Word stationery. Arial has a large font family consisting of Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, Extra Bold and Black, all in italic variations. There are condensed versions of most weights and fonts called Arial Narrow and Arial Rounded. None of these may be used as the secondary font.

Tertiary font
Open font is our tertiary brand font. It is a Google font and must only be used on our website.
