Typography is visual tone of voice: it shapes how people feel our words before they read them. Stanzegic Grotesk gives headlines weight and personality. Montserrat handles reading and numbers. Together they show a Squad22 that is direct, senior and free of ornament.

03 Primary typefaces

Aa Bb Cc Dd

Stanzegic Grotesk

Bold
Headlines, calls and openers

Aa Bb Cc 22

Montserrat

ExtraBold
Large numbers and supporting headlines

Aa Bb Cc 22

Montserrat

Bold and SemiBold
Body text, labels and buttons

Stanzegic Grotesk is never used for numbers. Every digit, even inside headlines, is set in Montserrat ExtraBold.

03 Typography for campaigns

Campaigns use Stanzegic Grotesk large, with tight leading and tight tracking. Montserrat Bold goes in the subhead and SemiBold in the body.

The period can take the highlight color. Never use all caps: the strength comes from size and weight.

Digital projects usually break at the brief, long before the code. That's why we validate before the first line.

03 Typography for campaigns / large headlines

Tight tracking, letters almost touching.

Built and live.

Stanzegic Grotesk is the headline typeface.

For large headlines, use tracking between -3% and -6% and leading between 85% and 95%.

Always in sentence case: only the first letter capitalized. Check that ascenders and descenders don't collide.

Tracking -5%: reduces manual kerning.

From brief
to live.

and billing.

03 Typography for general use / color highlight

From first test
to post-launch.

Use Stanzegic Grotesk in sentence case for everyday headlines, in pieces, presentations and on the website.

Color highlights guide the eye to what matters. On light backgrounds, the highlight is rose or signal blue, depending on the post's color. On dark, turquoise. Whole headlines can use signal blue.

Always check that ascenders and descenders don't touch.

Highlight: the end of the sentence changes color. One color per headline.

The keys are yours.

It can be one word or the end of the sentence.

03 Montserrat for numbers

Number typeface

Large numbers use Montserrat ExtraBold. Montserrat's open figures read better than Stanzegic at giant sizes and give data its rhythm.

Use tracking between -6% and -8%. The unit (%, NPS, days) sits smaller beside it, in Stanzegic. Fixed rule: Stanzegic never sets digits, not even inside a headline.

Note

In Canva, don't color the period. Apply the color to the last word.

From brief to live

When Stanzegic Grotesk isn't in the Canva brand kit, use Montserrat ExtraBold for headlines.

03 Backup typefaces

Aa Bb Cc 22

Arial

Black
Bold

Arial is the everyday backup when brand fonts aren't available: PowerPoint, Google Docs and shared files.

Apply the same tracking and leading rules from page 34 and adjust by hand when needed.

The presentation template is already set up, so most people won't need to touch this.

Arial isn't installed in this Figma file, so the sample shows Montserrat. In office tools, use Arial.

03 Calls to action

Clear, consistent calls drive action. Every button uses Montserrat Bold in sentence case, with equal padding on both sides.

In Canva and on social media, the same rule applies with Montserrat ExtraBold.

Use the approved combinations: white on signal blue, white on nocturne, nocturne on turquoise and turquoise on nocturne. Outlines only on dark backgrounds.

Button copy is two to four words.
