Font: Montserrat A modern sans-serif font. The typeface evokes the modernist style of the early 20th century, but it feels less formal than, say, Futura. It is a typeface that rescues the beauty of urban typography from the first half of the twentieth century. FONT WEIGHTS

Color: Blue This color is one of trust, responsibility, honesty and loyalty. It is sincere, reserved and quiet, and doesn’t like to make a fuss or draw attention. It hates confrontation, and likes to do things in its own way. From a color psychology perspective, blue is reliable and responsible.
