[ Fonts ]
Font usage is an important part of any identity system and t
ypography should be treated differently online. Finding the balance between graphical headers and more bandwidth economic HTML type should be done with practical care. While graphical headers can be used to make pages more attractive, a typographic hierarchy combining graphical and HTML text will aid in maintaining corporate consistency while maximizing the bandwidth available.

Hierarchy
A typographic hierarchy is used in an identity system to establish an order of communication. A hierarchy establishes orders of importance in communication. A primary level of communication acts to establish main points through display type (such as the graphical typefaces above). Secondary level type consists of body copy, and all other text (such as the HTML coded typefaces above).
