Clearspace

When applying our logo, it is paramount that it is given enough space from the margins and other elements on the page. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

GEMM Colors

Coupled with the layout system, the GEMM color palette supports and complements a diverse range of content and imagery. A considered system of secondary tones adds depth and hierarchy. Together with the core palette, it forms a key part of the GEMM identity.

Typography

Straight-forward with a polished simplicity, our typography gives all the key information but never talks over the artist. Our typeface is called Plain—in a good way.

Metodo Mono is a radically simple sans-serif font family designed in 2022. It is a fluid typeface flexible and utilitarian. It complements the geometry of the GEMM logo and provides a warmth that is associated with revivalist Grotesque typeface design.

Character Set

This is an overview of most of the characters in Metodo. The typeface supports all European languages except those requiring Greek or Cyrillic characters. For non-Latin alphabets like Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, etc, the designer or developer should use the closest approximation to Metodo available in that language.
