Three faces, each with one job

Draft for review · type scale and fallback policy proposed by Hyperakt, Sep 2026

Marr Sans Condensed speaks up. Trust 3A slows down and says something true. Inter does the reading. Keep them in those roles and the system carries the personality by itself: passionate in the headlines, steady in the body, resourceful in how little it needs.

Marr Sans Condensed

Headlines, section titles, big numbers, and caps labels. Condensed and confident, it lets a long name or a bold claim sit on one line. Semibold is the working weight; Bold is for the very largest sizes and one-word statements.

Case
Sentence case for headlines. Caps with 6% tracking for labels and the "San Antonio" line.
Never
Body copy, anything under 16px, long paragraphs.

Trust 3A

The editorial voice. Pull quotes, the brand story, a mission line on a cover, the one paragraph on a page that should feel spoken. It brings warmth and gravity, so it appears once per piece, not everywhere.

Size
28px and up. Below that its details close up.
Never
Navigation, buttons, tables, forms, captions.

The scale

Proposed · web

Nine sizes cover everything on screen. Print scales down by roughly a third; a 64px web headline is a 44pt print headline.

Hierarchy in one page

Nonprofits

We go far beyond the grant

We empower nonprofits across the San Antonio region with funding, capacity building, and connections that strengthen their impact.

We make grants where the region needs them most, investing across generations and causes so that everyone can thrive, no matter the zip code. Through learning and development opportunities, we help you build the capacity to create change.

Pairing rules

Proposed
  • Marr over Inter is the default pair. Headline in Marr Sans Condensed, everything under it in Inter. This covers the website, decks, one-pagers, and reports.
  • Trust 3A is a moment. One editorial passage per piece, set large. It replaces the lede, not the headline and not the body.
  • Sentence case for headlines. Caps are reserved for labels and the "San Antonio" line, where the tracking does the work.
  • Tight leading up top, generous below. Headlines sit near 1.0; body sits at 1.5. That contrast is part of the look.
  • Left-aligned, ragged right. Center only a single line, a cover, or an invitation.
  • Color follows the color rules. Navy for reading, magenta for one headline or label per surface, cream on dark. Never a color under 18px unless it's navy or cream.
Together for brighter futures

The Area Foundation unites and amplifies generosity across the San Antonio area.

YesMarr headline, Inter body.
We don't just fund change. We build it.

We connect donors to critical organizations on the ground.

YesTrust as the editorial moment, Inter after it.
The Area Foundation unites and amplifies generosity across the San Antonio area through grants, scholarships, and leadership.
NoTrust 3A as body copy. Too small, too much.
TOGETHER FOR BRIGHTER FUTURES
NoAll-caps headlines. Caps are for labels.
The Area Foundation unites and amplifies generosity across the San Antonio area through grants, scholarships, and leadership programs.
NoMarr as body copy. Condensed faces don't read at length.
Together for brighter futures
NoInter as the headline. It's the reading face, not the voice.

When the brand fonts aren't there

Fallbacks

Staff install Marr Sans Condensed and Trust 3A on their computers, and the website loads them. Where that isn't possible, in Google Docs, email, or a shared template on a machine without the fonts, use the stand-ins below. They hold the hierarchy, not the personality, which is fine for internal work.

Brand faceStand-inWhere it applies
Marr Sans CondensedArial Narrow BoldGoogle Docs, Gmail, Word without fonts installed
Trust 3AGeorgiaSame. Keep it to one editorial line, as with Trust.
InterInterFree everywhere: Google Docs has it built in; install it on desktop from Google Fonts.

The PowerPoint and Canva templates ship with the brand fonts embedded, so presentations and social never need the stand-ins.
