Typography

The SpeedFlex default typeface is Helvetica Neue and falls back to the following list:

Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif

Helvetica Neue Usage Examples

You can customize which fonts are used in your own widget installation with your preferred web-safe, embedded, or Google/Adobe hosted font.

Best Practices

1. Keep custom typefaces to a minimum. More than one or two fonts will compromise readability.

2. Use fonts that include both regular and bold weights.

3. Consider a sans-serif font for maximum readability on all types of screens.

4. The characters in different fonts use space slightly differently. You may need to adjust default sizes, letter-spacing, line-spacing, and other such attributes when using a custom font.
