All sizing should be adjusted in accordance with format of titling that is being used.
The regular weight should be used for programme titling and related body copy.

The bold weight should be used for internet and twitter links. The light weight is provided for optional use and can be used when larger text is being displayed, on screen legibility should always be considered when using this weight. Style Manipulating the typeface is prohibited. Stretching, condensing, outlining and drop shadow must never be used. Spacing When using any of the two typefaces in any of the weights the type should be set to 100% word spacing. When using Akkurat Pro letter spacing should be set to 100. When using ARS Marquette Pro letter spacing should be set to -25. In some circumstances it may be necessary to adjust the spacing between individual characters manually.

VIDEO/IMAGE PROPERTIES
Before live video or images can be used as part of programming titling, two properties should be applied to ensure readability and legibility of the TAKEOVER logo. The live video or image should be blur by a measure of 5% and a white fill layer should be applied at an opacity of 20%. The types of images of live video that should be selected for titling should be simple and focus on characters and faces rather than complex scenes. These images and videos should also have a limited colour variation. When selecting and positioning images the focus should always be on the face of the characters.
