Typography

Our primary typeface is Kievit (sans-serif) and our secondary typeface is Lyon (serif).

Kievit and Lyon are known as “humanist” typefaces, since they echo the letterform created by a scholar or scribe’s pen held in the right hand. Like Renaissance music and painting, these letterforms are filled with light and space. These are contemporary fonts, designed to perform well on the screen and at small sizes.

When neither of these fonts is available, fallback alternatives are Arial for sans-serif and Georgia for serif.
