Typography

Version 1.0.2 Ready

Inter

Our brand font is Inter. This typeface has been selected for its;

  • Excellent clarity and legibility
  • Extensive character set
  • Comprehensive weight and style options
  • Understated authority

We use Inter version 3. Inter recently received a new v4 update, which changes the spacing and overall look of the font. To maintain consistent branding for Malvern Panalytical materials, we recommend avoiding any version later than v3.19.

Inter is also available from Google Fonts.

Calibri

We use Calibri for office documents (e.g. Powerpoint, Word). Calibri is available on all Windows computers by default.

Noto

For languages which don't use the Latin alphabet (such as Arabic or Chinese languages), we use the Noto font family, which aims to cover the majority of the world's written scripts. N.B. Inter and Calibri both include Greek and Cyrillic characters.

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

  • Use Inter Bold for H1 and H2 headings
  • Use Inter Semi Bold for H3 and H4 headings
  • H1, H2 and H3 typically in MP21Charcoal
  • When text is on a coloured background, it is either black or white
  • H3 is 100% black when below 11pt
  • H4 is typically Inter Semi Bold, 100% black

Spacing

  • Leading should be approx 35% more than cap height, so at 9 pt the leading will be approx 12 pt.
  • The size ratio between H1 and H2 should be approx 3:2, so for example: if the cap height of H1 is 20 pt, then H2 should be approx 14 pt.
  • H2 to H3, and H3 to H4 can be approximately 4:3 ratio, e.g. about three quarters of the size.
  • H4 will be approximately the same size as bodytext, but in bold weight.
  • The size of the Headings define the space around them: If the cap height is x, then the space underneath should be x as well. The height over the heading is 2x.
