Intelligence Community Design System

Well-defined typography creates obvious hierarchy and helps to organise information.

The Design System uses the Open Sans font for most text and Nunito Sans for large headings. These are flexible and readable fonts that work well across digital and print.

Write all headings in sentence case.

Use the logical order ofh# tags in code. For example, ah3 heading needs to come after ah2 heading but can be styled as any variant. It's important that heading tags are used properly .

Write all subtitles in sentence case.

Use subtitles for sub-section headings and table headings.

Write all body text in sentence case.

Use a minimum of 16pt for body text. 18pt should be used for apps with a lot of text (like intranets or reports).

If your link is at the end of a sentence or paragraph, make sure that the linked text does not include the full stop.
