Style

Typography style guidelines must be observed to maintain consistency across all Novozymes applications. This guidance maximizes the aesthetic value of the Frutiger font family and ensures the proper weight is given to the various text components of a layout.


Main titles

 
Font   Frutiger 55 Roman
Size   16-36 pt
Leading   21-30 pt (determined by font size)
Kerning    -5 pt

Main titles should be set with sentence case. However, for short headlines, main title and large callouts (5 words or less) it is optional to use all caps - if you use all caps for headlines in one part of the communication, you have to use it all throughtout the entire communication piece.

Headines should be set at size 12-20 pt, depending on the size on the main title, cf. example below.

Paragraphs should be predominantly left justified but may be forced justified as needed.

 

Subheads

 
Font   Frutiger 65 Bold
Size   Subheads should maintain the same point size as body copy, i.e. 10-12 pt.
Leading   14-18 (determined by font size)
Kerning   0


Body copy

 
Font   Frutiger 45 Light is the primary weight for all body copy, but for occasions where a slightly heavier weight is needed, Frutiger 55 Roman maybe used.
Size   10-12 pt. Allow layout constraints to determine the point size for body copy.
Leading   16-18 (determined by font size)
Kerning   0

Body copy should be predominantly left justified but may be force justified as needed.


Disclaimers

 
Font   Frutiger 55 Roman
Size   7-9 pt. Set disclaimers 3 points smaller then body copy. If necessary, disclaimer point size can be 4 points less then body copy, never dropping below a point size of 6.
Leading   10-12 pt (determined by font size)
Kerning   0



Captions

 
Font    Frutiger 45 Light
Size   8-10 pt. Set captions 2 points smaller then body copy. If necessary, caption point size can be 3 points less then body copy, never dropping below a point size of 7.
Leading   11-14 pt (determined by font size)
Kerning   0


Bullets

 
Type Standard, round bullets
Size   80% of size of bulleted statement.
Space after   Use two full spaces between bullet and first letter of statement.
