Fonts
For Riverty’s digital products, the GT Ultra Median is used as the headline font, while a system font stack is applied for all other text.
This approach enhances legibility and performance in web applications, maintaining GT Ultra Median as the headline font to strengthen brand retention.
The relevant GT Ultra variants are available through Riverty’s Figma organization via the ‘shared fonts’ feature (further documentation to come). Webfonts are automatically configured in the CSS Framework and delivered from cdn.riverty.design (with more documentation forthcoming). Support for locally hosted webfonts and direct download of all font formats will also be available soon, subject to licensing terms.
Headline font: GT Ultra Median Light
GT Ultra bridges the gap between sans and serif typefaces, merging the historical context of serif typography with the modernity of sans. It balances aesthetic flair and functionality, creating a versatile typographic system for various contexts.
Body font: system-ui
For all non-headline text, Riverty uses a system font stack that adapts to the user’s operating system. This ensures a familiar reading experience across platforms:
- Apple devices: SF Pro
- Android devices: Roboto
- Windows devices: Segoe UI
This approach delivers a seamless, optimized typographic experience on various devices and browsers.
Typography fallbacks
In some environments, such as third-party solutions, Riverty cannot directly control the typography or distribute fonts and related code packages. Examples include email services and authorization tools.
To mitigate brand inconsistency, the design system provides a recommended fallback approach that minimizes visual deviations. This fallback system ensures consistency in scenarios where custom fonts cannot be applied.
