Typography

Typefaces

[edit]

Communicating through text is an important part of Turkic Wikimedia Conference. Using typography effectively and consistently is key to get your message across. Turkic Wikimedia Conference uses one main typeface, Montserrat. It is free and open source.

Montserrat

[edit]

The primary typeface for Turkic Wikimedia Conference is Montserrat. It is used in the Turkic Wikimedia Conference logo, and for all the branded content we make. Montserrat is a versatile sans-serif typeface. It has certain humanist features, giving it character and warmth, while its large X-height and wide construction give it a lot of impact. It works well for big headlines as well as smaller paragraphs of body copy.

Internationalisation

[edit]

Noto has been our default replacement for non-latin languages. Just like Montserrat it's open source and free to use under the Open Font License, which is great! However, we also encourage you to find a typeface with support for your language/script that you think fits best. We want to be aesthetically consistent, and Noto has quite a different expression than Montserrat. If you think of it as a substitute for Montserrat, you should try to find a typeface with a similar character.
