Type
DIN Pro Bold: DIN is the standard Access Now typeface. It is used in printed matters and Access Now branded content (such as digital flyers).
Source Sans Pro: Source Sans Pro is an open-source alternative to DIN. It is generally used in Google Docs, internal docs, and Access Now website content.
Helvetica Neue: When neither DIN nor Source Sans Pro is available, you can also use Helvetica Neue for Access Now materials.
Multilingual content: For content in other languages, we recommend using Noto Sans (a Google Open Source Project for multilingual typefaces) to cover as many languages as possible. We do, for Arabic, have two special fonts: Cairo for prints and Tahoma for web.
