Typography guidelines
Typography plays a significant role when creating a brand identity for your client. It's as important as a logo because typography is everywhere. A client will use it on a website, brochures, business cards, and even T-Shirts. And, when doing everything right, people will recognize the brand based on what font they see.
Your design studio can't always oversee how your client uses the font you have chosen or created after the project goes live. So defining the rules of working with the type is vital. Do it in the style guide.
We know what information to add to the style guide. Usually, it would help if you defined the following:
Brand typefaces;
Typography system;
Pairings;
Pairings guidelines;
Typography guidelines;
Typography will help you to build a solid and lasting brand for your client.
Use a Style Guide like in IBM, Uber, Slack, McDonald's, and NASA.
You might think these giants have something special, something unavailable for you and your clients. Even though their style guides are confidential, they are not unique!
We had worked with giant corporations and then used that experience to create this Style Guide Template. So it has a similar structure, information, and chapters.
After downloading, you will use the best practices from the top corporations! Moreover, the style guide is filled with ready-to-use content for you to learn how to explain the work performed professionally.
