Primary Sans-Serif Typeface

Berlingske Sans is our brand’s primary sans-serif typeface. It may be used in almost all applications. The sans-serif family should be used more than the serif family, but they complement each other nicely, so be sure to use both in your communications.

Uses: headlines, subheads, body copy, quotes, names
Font Weights: light, light italic, regular, italic, medium, bold, bold italic
Substitute Typeface: Arial

Primary Serif Typeface

Berlingske Serif is the brand’s primary serif typeface. It adds a level of sophistication to our communications, which helps balance the sleek, modern feel of our display and sans-serif typefaces. Berlingske Serif should be used as more of an accent font that supports the sans-serif, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be used more prominently if the situation calls for it.

Uses: headlines, subheads, body copy, quotes, names
Font Weights: regular, italic, medium, medium italic, bold, bold italic
Substitute Typeface: Georgia

Numeric Display Typeface

Karlie Extras Regular is a numbers-only display typeface that we use for large numbers and callouts. It adds a level of sophistication and a slightly vintage feel to any composition.

The typeface is only used for numbers; do not use any other characters. If necessary, use Berlingske Serif Bold to supply any missing characters.

Uses: Large numbers and callouts
Substitute Typeface: Georgia
