Web Font Usage

We use Ubuntu for headlines because of its unique characteristics that embody the brand. For body text, use Open Sans. These two fonts are web optimized Google fonts and free licensed font families.

Print Font Usage

We use Ubuntu for headlines because of its unique characteristics that embody the brand. For body text, we use TheSansKens. Compared to web usage, Ubuntu needs to be adjusted in line heights and spacing for print usage. TheSansKens font is an optimized print font that is specially made for the Kensington brand and perfect for printed body copies. Always combine the body copy font (TheSansKens) with the headline font (Ubuntu)
