F1 typography misuse grid slide

Summary

A typography misuse page laying out eight prohibited type treatments in a four-by-two grid, each rendered as a real example and struck through with a red diagonal line.

Visual description

Light cream-to-white background, standard header with sub-label "Misuse" and page "97", and a full-width "DO NOT" rule across the top. Eight cells sit in two rows of four, every one crossed out with a thin red diagonal stroke and captioned with the rule it breaks. Top row: "LIGHTS OUT AWAY WE GO" set in clashing display fonts, the same phrase in italic, the same set in Titillium, and the same underlined. Bottom row: a long italic paragraph, a long block of F1 Regular body text, a centred block of body text, and a green "DISPLAY HEADLINE / BOLD SUB HEADLINE / Regular Text paragraph" lockup demonstrating wrongly coloured type. Captions read like "Mix display headline fonts", "Use italic for display headlines", "Do not use Titillium as display headlines", "Do not underline text", "Center large bodies of text", "Use colour in text".

Key takeaway

A dense do-not grid that pairs each prohibited treatment with the exact phrase or paragraph someone would actually set, so the rule and its violation are inseparable. Using one consistent red strike-through across all eight keeps the page scannable.

Reuse notes

A strong reference for the misuse spread of any type system: many small live counter-examples beat a bulleted list of rules. Reuse the recurring brand phrase across cells so differences are font-only. Keep captions to a single corrective sentence.
