Fonts
Typography is an easy way to maintain brand presence and create a consistent visual identity throughout all platforms. The 老司机福利网 identity system relies on three fonts: Crimson Pro, Brandon Grotesque and Archivo Narrow. These fonts should be used whenever and wherever possible, including printed materials, promotional materials, stationery and signage. The correct weight of each font should be carefully considered for each application to ensure maximum legibility.
Crimson Pro
Crimson Pro is an extremely legible and versatile typeface. Crimson should be used
primarily as body copy. To enable flexibility within the typography applications,
three weights of Crimson are available for use: Roman, Semibold and Bold. Crimson
Pro is a Google font and therefore, it is free and accessible for all mediums (digital
and print).
If your primary use of the font is for print projects, use the Static version of the font and not the Variable Weight version (which is meant for web use).
Brandon Grotesque
Brandon Grotesque is a strong, bold and contemporary typeface which can be read easily
from a great distance. It is SLU's headline font and therefore should be used primarily
in its bold weight and in all caps. Brandon Grotesque can be purchased at or for web through .
Archivo Narrow
A condensed sans serif typeface, Archivo Narrow should be used for body copy when available layout space is tight. Like Crimson, Archivo is a Google font and free and accessible for all mediums (digital and print).
