Style Guide

Branded materials for Author Connections are included below.  Here are some tips and guidelines for use.

Logo download files include 3 file types:

  1. JPEG – common raster format used on white backgrounds.
  2. PNG – raster format used when a transparent background is needed.
  3. PDF – vector format viewable by everyone.


When it comes to color usage, the primary color is the color displayed most frequently across the brand. To create contrast between elements, you can use the light variant or the secondary color.

Use the primary font, Open Sans, for all body heading and body copy. Headings should be Extra Bold to Bold.  Body copy should be in regular to Semi Bold weight. When a heading requires more attention or a distinct feel, use our special font, Philosopher.
