Typeface NS Sans

NS has its own typeface ‘NS Sans’ which must be used on everything that we do on the web. There are two weights we use ’NS Sans Regular’ and ’NS Sans Bold’.

Type sizes

We’ve developed our type sizes to be suitable for average screen densities and reading comfort under typical conditions. We size our type across the following two breakpoint groups to suit a range of devices and input methods:

1. Desktop, tablet (screensizes 640 pixels and above)
2. Mobile (screensizes 0-639 pixels)

The sizes shown below correspond to size and line-height (size/line-height) and are in pixels, based on a baseline of 72 pixels per inch (ppi). We recommend you set font sizes using relative units to allow for the changing nature of the user’s browser. This creates uniformity across different screen sizes and capabilities.
