Typography

Always use the council colour palette.

Font​

If your service is a bristol.gov.uk subdomain you must use the TheSans font.

You should use an alternative typeface like Source Sans Pro or Arial for services that are publicly available on different domains.

If you’re not sure whether you should be using TheSans contact the Web Team.

Weight​

As with the font size, you can change the font weight to regular or bold.

<p>Regular text</p>
<strong>Bold text</strong>

Strong text

Links are blue and underlined by default. If your link is at the end of a sentence or paragraph, make sure that the linked text does not include the full stop.

<a href="#">Link</a>

Block Quotes​
