*'''TeX Gyre Pagella'''

::A completely FOSS implementation that might be the basis for in-house custobmization.  Is often included with systems that include software that uses TeX as a dependency or just users and distros using the TeX Gyre fonts as a handy base.

:: This is another typeface that appears to have been used historically, including the ARTEMIS logo.  It's arguably close enough to Palatino/Palladio.

::Libertine/Linux Libertine is often bundled with Linux distros

::A variant of Libertine that is often found on Chromebooks

::A typeface with a lot of variants, some of which are closer to Palatino than others.  This is basically a Hail Mary pass before subjecting the visitor with whatever their serif default is.

=====Noto Sans Font Stack Notes=====
 
−
'''Typeface Implementation'''
 
−
*'''Noto Sans'''
 
−
::The brand reference font family.  While Droid Sans appears to be the same typeface, most Android devices will automatically substitute either Roboto 2012 or Roboto 2014, which are not desired at all.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Similar Typefaces'''
 
−
*'''Verdana'''
 
−
*'''Carlito'''
 
−
::This appears to actually be a variant of Noto Sans, but it crops the capital India, making it indistinguishable from lowercase Lima.  Not only does it lose an important a11y feature, it loses one of the more distinguishing features of Noto Sans and Verdana.  Carlito is mainly found on Chromebooks.
 
−
 
 
−
'''Better than Most Possibilities'''<BR />
 
−
At this level, a proper capital India is a lost cause, but the terminals of these are in the ballpark or at least less far off than we'll get with most users' default sans-serif typefaces.

This is a branding standard that hearkens back to what we have used historically, while tying all colors to official Pantone Coated sRGB values and providing freely redistributable fonts for all typefaces.

The intended audience for this page is normal people and graphic artists who will be creating simple web pages, print ads, and other rendered art. If you are a CSS developer, you may find Moon Society 2019 Branding Font Stacks of interest. Do not use fonts from low in the stacks for "normal" branding work.

Typefaces

  • General purpose serif and possibly logo/title: Palatino/Palladio, with Tex Gyre Pagella as a FOSS and redistributable implementation. It hearkens back to 1990s ASI and Artemis Project branding.
  • Headings and Headlines: Spartan, with Spartan MB as a FOSS redistributable implementation. The League Spartan implementation has been used with MMM. This typeface hearkens back to Gizmo and should compliment it when we have a font.
  • MMM Headlines and decorative headlines: Gizmo. Will probably be only one font (Lunar Gizmo?), whose development is a pending action item. The proprietary original font appears to be impossible to legitimately acquire, unfortunately.
  • Body text and general purpose sans serif: Noto Sans, which hearkens to Verdana, which was used both on websites and in MMM.
  • Monospace: Inconsolata, which has two FOSS fonts and was used on our 2013-2018 website design (Coriolis).

Logos
