Garnet #8f001a is Telfer's main colour identity so it has the strongest presence in our brand elements.

The dark grey #231F20 complements the lighter colours, creating balance and making the palette more distinctive and sophisticated, while the soft beige balances the other colours and gives space to the elements.

Alternative colours should not be introduced into the system, or they would reduce the impact of our colour palette.

The secondary color palette may be used in moderation when they relate to a specific theme, or the vision for a Better Canada more broadly. They are not to be used as primary colours.

Typography is a powerful tool in the development of a creative identity and is a key element to create a cohesive look across all communications. Using a typeface consistently makes it recognizable; it pulls together communication materials and makes them more distinctive. The style of type we use to bring our communication to life sets the tone of our brand: clean, modern, stylish, distinctive, and legible. Selected fonts are a great combination between Roboto and Roboto Condensed Bold.

Visually important elements like quotes can use Roboto Slab.
