Integration rules

Use the Google repository to load google fonts.

Integrate typefaces using relative units such as rem to ensure proper adjustment of proportions to the responsive breakpoint. Avoid absolute units wherever possible.

Typography sizes should be hierarchically consistent.

H1 > H2 > H3 > H4, H5, H6 > text

Line heights must also be consistent.

Weights are free, but must be consistent with the text hierarchy.

Spacing and font sizes must comply with WCAG AA rules.

When applying italics, use italic typography rather than the CSS effect "italic".

Different styles of headings and paragraphs are available in the Figma components.

To go further, consult the Digital chart in the Brand Center website.

Lists are vertical groupings of related content. List items begin with either a number or a bullet. Use a list when you have to display a group of items together and organized vertically. Use it to display simple pieces of data in a consistent format. Items in the list are display vertically and are aligned. Subitems have a margin before them to stand out from the parent item.

Best practices

  • Use list to display simple information, for complex data use a table or a graph for example.

  • Order list in a logical way (alphabetic order, most frequent, …).

  • List item are grammatically parallel, use the same type of syntax for every item.
