Fonts
Our fonts are well legible. They are distinguished and distanced in tone. They represent professionalism, clarity and commitment.
It is imperative to use the following sans-serif fonts:
Medium | Font |
| MS Office templates | Arial, Bitter |
| MS Office PowerPoint templates | Arial, Bitter |
| Arial | |
| SIS publications | Helvetica Neue Lt Std, Bitter |
| SIS logotype 1 (“SIS”) | Eurostile Bold Condensed |
| SIS logotype 2 (“Swiss International School”) | Eurostile Medium |
| Web “title” | Bitter |
| Web “text” | Arial |
Fonts in Titles
Never use italics in titles. Foreign language elements are therefore to be avoided whenever possible.
Font Sizes and Line Spacing
In documents of several pages, attention must be paid to uniform font sizes and line spacing. The following serves as guideline (Helvetica Neue Lt Std):
| Medium | Examples | Font Size | Line Spacing |
| location print products | location flyer, event flyer, info brochure, insert | 8.5 pt | 10.5 – 11.5 pt |
publications summaries/addresses | SIS World, emphaSIS, SIS Staff Info | 9.5 pt 7.5 pt | 13 pt 9.5 pt |
| Office PowerPoint templates | Arial 16-20 | ||
| job advertisements | job ad, event ad, image ad, roll-up, info poster | 8 pt | 10 pt |
| MS Office templates | letter template, school year calendar, timetable, price list | Arial 10 (except pre-formatted lines) |
Alignment
In SIS publications, use full justification (Blocksatz) for full-page articles. In some cases, left justification (linksbündig) can also be used; e.g. for the three-column page "SIS recommends".
Paragraphs
Paragraphs are always to be separated by a blank line.
