LOUD HEADLINES. QUIET DATA.

Two families, two jobs. Archivo Bold shouts from posters and hero screens in tight capitals. IBM Plex Sans handles everything that has to be read twice: product specs, app copy, legal lines. Nothing in between.

Display lines in Archivo are set in capitals with negative tracking. Never letter-space capitals wider than the default.

Hierarchy. One display line per screen or spread. It is set in Archivo Bold, capitals, tracking −30 to −25. Everything below it is IBM Plex Sans. Two type sizes per component are enough; three are the maximum.

Numbers. Data is a VANTIC signature. Set figures in IBM Plex Sans with tabular figures, units in small caps spacing (SPM, MS, KM). Never round a number for effect.

Punctuation. Full stops close headlines. No exclamation marks, anywhere. No ellipses. Product names stay in capitals (PULSE, SHIFT, LINK, CORE) and are never translated or italicised.
