Yes, the grid defined in this manual is not mandatory, but we recommend it as a proven tool for maintaining a consistent and visually pleasing content layout. It is important that the grid is used deliberately to facilitate navigation and structure on the page. The Grid can be customized to fit the specific needs and size of your design.
The Roboto font is the basis of our graphic communication and was chosen for its versatility and accessibility. Although Roboto is freely available and widely used, it is its consistent use that ensures a consistent visual style. Where Roboto is not technically possible, we recommend Arial or Helvetica as suitable alternatives, which can provide a similar look and text structure.
Yes, the modular scale given in the manual is more of an indicative recommendation based on best practice. Although the manual does not require strict adherence to a particular scale, we strongly recommend that typography be set to clearly support the visual hierarchy. This will help users navigate the content easily and emphasize the importance of individual elements.
Yes, the recommended placement of the claim and logo serves as a guideline, but it is not binding. You can place the claim in any location that suits the specific needs of your design, as long as the protection zone around the logotype is respected. The claim often functions as part of the content itself, and therefore its placement can be customized to visually support the overall composition and message.
