Typographic rules: Speech Bubbles<br />

A typographic hierarchy has been developed<br />

for use in speech bubbles. The relationship<br />

between font sizes, weights and colours should<br />

always be maintained. Specific sizes are given<br />

here as an example.<br />

Main Tesimonial Font: Helvetica Neue 75 Bold<br />

Colour: Black Font Size: 18pt Leading: 22pt<br />

Name Font: Helvetica Neue 75 Bold<br />

Colour: <strong>Red</strong> Font Size: 12pt Leading: 18pt<br />

Job Title Font: Helvetica Neue 55 Roman<br />

Colour: Black Font Size: 12pt Leading: 18pt<br />

Second line leading: 16pt<br />

Typographic rules: Basic<br />

Some more general rules that should be adhered to in <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Gate</strong><br />

materials.<br />

Alignment: Always ragged left, never justified.<br />

Quote usage: Straight only ( ' + " ) not ( ‘+ “ )<br />

Negative tracking: Permitted, but not more than a value <strong>of</strong> -40<br />

(assuming use <strong>of</strong> Adobe InDesign)<br />

Ligatures: Recommended, and placed automatically when using<br />

OpenType fonts<br />

Kerning: Pay close attention to Helvetica's 1 in particular. Values<br />

<strong>of</strong> -40 for n1 pairs, and -80 for most 1n pairs are recommended.<br />

Please note that <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Gate</strong> <strong>Book</strong>s have their own rules.<br />
