Typefaces

Cinzel, for headlines and inscriptions

Cormorant Garamond, for sub-headings

Inter, for reading and interface text. All three are open-source fonts under the SIL Open Font License, self-hosted on this site.

The wordmark is drawn from Cinzel capitals, after Roman inscriptions, and converted to outlines. Cinzel is also set live for headlines on this site.

Usage rules

Please do

  • Write “Zeus” in normal text, not “ZEUS”.
  • Keep clear space around the logo of at least the height of the mark’s bolt.
  • Say “Zeus by Verne” or “Zeus, a Verne product” when introducing it.
  • Use the light logo on dark backgrounds.

Please don’t

  • Stretch, recolour, outline or rotate the logo.
  • Use the logo for a fork or another product (rename forks).
  • Suggest that Verne endorses your product.
  • Use the artwork to depict anything Zeus does not do.

Full rules: trademark policy.
