Typography has a big impact on how we feel about a brand, and how well we remember it. Like an accent or tone of voice, fonts add personality to a brand's written content.

Macquarie uses web-safe fonts, which are designed to appear consistently across different digital platforms and print media.

The brand font

Work Sans is Macquarie's brand font. Its bold, minimal styling creates emphatic headings and clear body text, while giving our pages a subtly distinctive look and feel. Source Serif is the companion font to Work Sans. Its more expressive lines draw attention to elements like intro text and quotes.
