Alternative typefaces

Open-source Verdana

The Aino typeface is primarily used in our marketing materials. In everyday information exchange between different parties, using Aino is not always technically possible. When needed, use the free system font Verdana in documents, newsletters, emails and other materials

Google font Noto Sans

Aino includes Latin and Cyrillic characters as well as punctuation marks. For Arabic and logographic texts, we use the open-source Google font Noto Sans on both websites and in marketing materials.

Typographic hierarchy

Each style in the Aino typeface family has its own role in the design system.

Using the Aino typeface

Aino Headline

The Aino Headline style is designed for headings. Choose one heading size and use it consistently throughout the design to highlight the most important information.

Aino Headline on suurem kui 30 pt.

Aino Headline ei tohiks kunagi olla väiksem kui 30pt, et mitte kaotada oma õhulisust ja tähevorme.

Use regular text (Aino Regular) for subheadings and body text, and bold text (Aino Bold) when needed.

Aino Headline highlights only the most important information.

Text is aligned to the left.

Text can be center-aligned if needed.

Text should not be right-aligned.
