Two-column table of contents with large sans section headings, superscript page numbers, and indented sub-item lists.

Summary

The contents page: three big sans section headings each prefixed with a superscript page number, with a short indented list of sub-topics beneath each.

Visual description

Charcoal background, cream type, two-column layout. The left column lists "BRAND STRATEGY" (with a small superscript "3") over the sub-items Concept, Design, Results, Positioning; then "BRAND ASSETS" (superscript "8") over Color, Wordmark, Type, Grid, Image, Pattern, Shape. The right column holds "APPLICATIONS" (superscript "26") over Small Print, Large Print, Signage, Environmental, Digital, Interface. Section headings are large Neue Haas grotesque; sub-items are smaller regular weight, set in a tight indented list. The standard footer ("2 / BRAND GUIDELINES / TABLE OF CONTENTS") sits on a hairline rule below.

Key takeaway

Using a superscript page number as the only ornament on each heading keeps the contents page graphic without resorting to dot leaders or boxes. The size jump between heading and sub-item carries all the hierarchy.

Reuse notes

A reliable contents or agenda pattern for long decks and guidelines. The two-column split balances an uneven number of sections. Works best when headings are few and bold; a longer list would need a third column or smaller heads.
