2 | Typography

Typography Typography is a fundamental element in creating and protecting Echo Barrier distinctive brand identity.

It is a subtle and more complex element than the logotype or colour palette. It is also a powerful brand signifier in its own right, bringing personality and consistency to all communication, infusing everything with the essential Echo Barrier look and feel. Echo Barrier branding always appears in one of two type fonts – Frutiger LT Std or Stag.

Stag | 2.0

STAG Stag Medium abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 123456789012345678901234567890

Stag Medium is one of our two primary typefaces. It is reserved for main titles, headings and to provide body copy and paragraphs with a strong visual impact.
