The fallback typeface page showing Arial Regular and Bold full character specimens for use when Inter is unavailable.

Summary

The fallback type page: Arial is named as the substitute when Inter is not installed, shown in Regular and Bold full-character specimens.

Visual description

Full-bleed warm pink field matching the rest of the type chapter. A narrow left column holds the "Fallback typeface" header and a short paragraph saying Arial should be used in Word or PowerPoint as a common, widely available face. The right two-thirds shows two specimens, "Arial - Regular" and "Arial - Bold", each printing the full lowercase and uppercase alphabet, numerals and symbols in black. Much of the lower slide is left as open pink space since only two weights are shown. Hairline footer.

Key takeaway

Treating the fallback font with the same specimen layout as the brand font, so the office-software substitute is given equal, unambiguous documentation rather than a footnote, which keeps everyday Word and PowerPoint output on-brand.

Reuse notes

A practical page every brand system should include. Reuse the matching specimen layout for the fallback so designers and staff see exactly what the substitute looks like; restrict it to the weights actually needed for documents.
