Pink guideline page introducing the two typefaces as two white cards, Oldschool Grotesk as hero and Monzo Sans as functional.
Summary
A pink page establishing Monzo's two-typeface system as a pair of white cards: the hero typeface on the left, the functional typeface on the right.
Visual description
Pale-pink background with an outlined "Our typography" pill top-left. Two large white rounded cards sit side by side. The left card is headed "Hero typeface" and shows "Oldschool Grotesk" set big and bold in coral across two lines. The right card is headed "Functional typeface" and shows "Monzo Sans" in coral, in a lighter, rounder cut. The cards give each typeface equal weight and breathing room.
Key takeaway
Splitting the type system into two labelled cards instantly communicates the hero/functional hierarchy before any detail. Setting each name in its own typeface makes the card a live specimen.
Reuse notes
A clean opener for a two-typeface system page in any guideline. The card-per-typeface device extends to three or more faces in a grid. Slides 33 to 36 then expand each face individually.
