Digital font.

Where it is not possible to use our primary brand font, we should use Century Gothic.

Usage.

Good typography often goes unnoticed because it just makes sense. Elements of good typography include consistency, hierarchy, and alignment.

Hierarchy.

Examples of how to differentiate titles and subtitles by weight or contrast change are shown here. It’s important to keep it simple and not create titles that are too long.

All headlines must have a full stop at the end.

Alignment.

Flush left creates strong alignments for the eye to follow, aiding readability and organisation. It is our standard for all typography across Dominus because it is functional, modern, timeless, and the most effective in information design and legibility.

Case.
Write content in sentence case. Title case can be used in proper titles, product names, and service names. Avoid the use of all uppercase or “all caps” in your typography, especially for paragraphs or text. We use full stops at the end of headlines and sub headers.
Rags, orphans and widows.
Always look for opportunities to create improved rags, or ragged edges on the right margin. Watch out for orphans and widows, and adjust line lengths with a writer to solve awkward breaks which can affect reading quality.
