Sans Typography Styleguide
We are admitted type nerds over at We Are Pixel8. That is why we have gone through great lengths to insure that the typography for the Sans theme delivers maximum readability comfort across all screen resolutions. We have taken into account everything from scalable typography to incremental leading. All font sizes are set in relative em measurements. This will allow for the proportional scaling of font sizes based on the end user’s browser settings.
And we didn’t forget about font pairing. We have hand selected Noticia Text, by JM Solé for the body copy and paired this with Helvetica Neue for headlines, page titles and headers. According to the font specs, Noticia Text is a contemporary humanist slab serif typeface designed to be used for running text on digital newspapers (both on websites and mobile apps). It has a large x-height, ample proportions, big serifs and large apertures that allow the letters to be clear, even at small sizes on low resolution screens.
Noticia Text is served using the Google Web Fonts Service through a pluggable function that can be overridden in a child theme.
