Typography

2rem — H1 / largest standard heading

1.5rem — H2 / large text

1rem (16px) — H3-H6 and main content text

0.875rem — small functional text in Open Sans

Example H1 heading

H1 retains the established blue treatment and standard text spacing below it.

Example H2 heading

H2 also retains the established blue treatment.

Example H3 heading

H3 is black, bold and the same size as body text, with no extra gap below the heading.

Example H4 heading

H4 through H6 use the same treatment as H3.

Bitter is the main typeface for the site. This is a standard text link with the blue hover colour.

Buttons and controls

Buttons use slightly rounded corners and three consistent sizes. The small size is intended for compact actions such as table rows.

Tables

Tables use a straightforward NSC treatment: a blue optional caption, beige column headings with white text, light-beige body rows and clear white internal dividers. Captions and column headings are optional.
