Typography

The typefaces Headland Yachting uses, and how headings and text are sized and spaced.

Typefaces

  • Headings: DM Serif Display Page titles and section headings.
  • Body text: DM Sans Running text, buttons, forms and navigation.
  • Monospace: System monospace Code, and figures that need to line up.

Headings and text

A clear page title

A section heading

A smaller heading

Body text sits at a comfortable size and line length for reading. Links take the accent colour.

Captions and supporting text are smaller and quieter.

The type scale in use

Hierarchy comes from weight, size and space, not capitals: headings are set in sentence case, without all-caps labels above them.
