Typography
Typography needs to offer a clear way to display text. It helps us create hierarchies, organize information, and guide our users through pages.
Typeface
Scarlet uses DIN Next LT Pro font. It can be downloaded via our DAM: DIN Next LT Pro font.
Fallback font
If the font is not displayed in a browser, the fallback font is Calibri. Calibri is the default font used on the e-mails for technical reasons.
Typography components
Headings
Heading is used to create various levels of typographic hierarchies.
Body text
Body text normal is always DIN Next LT Pro Font Regular and its typically used for long-form writing
Detail text
Detail text is used for disclosing extra information or smaller items in hierarchical relationships of text, like captions and footnotes, which use the smallest font sizes. They are used sparingly to annotate tables or provide additional small details.
Type scale
Each theme uses a common library with defined text sizes and line height. As Proximus being the default theme, all usage documentation is writing with Proximus examples and can be apply to other themes. Refer to Text sizes to have all the details.
Alignment
The standard alignment is left. Only use right alignment if that's justified for a particular reason.
Typesetting
Typesetting controls the readability of a text with the size, style, and spacing of its type. It's a function of microtypography (how text is styled within a text block) and macrotypography (how content elements are arranged on the page). The more readable a text the more easily users can understand its content. Text with poor readability turns off readers and can make it challenging for them to stay focused.
Easy-to-read constitutes a great extra reading to write and produce content that is accessible for all.
Rules
Do not use allCaps anywhere except for acronyms like SMS and TV.
