Fonts

FEWS NET uses the Segoe UI and Open Sans typefaces for most text. Segoe UI is preferred when available, while Open Sans is used in Google Suite products and elsewhere as a fallback for Segoe UI.

FEWS NET uses the Georgia typeface for official headlines only. Tinos may be used as a fallback for Georgia.

Segoe UI and Open Sans

FEWS NET uses Segoe UI (or Open Sans as a fallback) for most text, including normal body text, titles of internal documents, page headings and subheadings, technical user interface elements, and graphics and social media products.

Segoe UI Bold (700 weight) and Segoe UI Semibold (600 weight) may be used for titles, headings and subheadings, and other cases where text emphasis is appropriate. See text emphasis for details.

Segoe UI Regular (400) may be used for text in all other cases. Regular Italic may be used where appropriate (see Italics for details).

Don’t

• Use font classes other than Bold, Semibold, Regular, or Regular Italic

• Use Segoe UI for headlines of official web pages, report documents, or presentation slides

Georgia

FEWS NET only uses the Georgia Regular (400 weight) font for headlines of official web pages, report documents, and presentation slides. Preserving use of Georgia for these cases provides FEWS NET audiences with a reliable visual signal of formal materials that are backed by FEWS NET’s expertise.

Text that uses Georgia should be the most visually prominent text in any context where it is used, and should therefore have the largest point size. Size specifications are available for documents and presentations.

Don’t

• Use Georgia Bold, Georgia Italic, or Georgia Bold Italic

• Use Georgia in any color other than Brand Black or Brand White

• Use Georgia for headings or subheadings below the page, document, or slide title

• Use Georgia in social media or promotional graphics

• Use Georgia in documentation or technical user interfaces

These guidelines apply equally to Tinos when Georgia is not available. Because headlines in Georgia are a key visual aspect of the FEWS NET brand, avoid use of Tinos to the extent possible.
