BRAND COLORSOrange is one of our greatest distinguishing features. It is an essential part of our brand identity.
Combined with white, and dark grey a distinct style is created which is both simple to use and powerful through its simplicity.
Use highlight colors in combination with our core colors. These colors add depth, but use them sparingly.
HIGHLIGHT COLORS
CORE COLORS
BRAND FONTSGotham is our primary typeface. It’s a clean, modern sans-serif typeface that works well for display copy, body text, and everything between.
Gotham Regular works well across all media and applications. It’s effective when used with large amounts of text reversed out to white.
Gotham Italic is used when referring to book, movie, or music titles. It’s a workable alternative for instances where a script font might be desired.
Gotham Bold is ideal for headlines and subheads. Gotham Bold also works well in signage headlines.
Typographic Style
Use typeface, type size, and type weight wisely to establish a clear hierarchy of information.
USING TYPE EFFECTIVELYPlease adhere closely to these guidelines when using the Gotham typeface.
Note: Some natural distortion of type is inevitable when used in a photo or illustration. All the same, please maintain the overall integrity of the typeface.
