STRIDE

Posters

One grid, one key line, one big photograph.

The key line

Every STRIDE poster is built on one grid: an 8% margin, the key line top-left, the headline hanging from it, and the wordmark in the opposite corner.

The key line is the short, heavy bar above the headline. It marks where reading starts and gives every poster in a campaign the same anchor, whatever the photograph does.

Text sizes

Headline and body scale with the poster; the relationships stay fixed.

Margin (A)
8% of the poster width, on all four sides
Key line
1.5 × A wide, as tall as the headline’s stroke
Headline
Inter Tight Light or Bold, 9–13% of the width, left-aligned
Subtitle
Inter Tight Regular, a third of the headline size
Wordmark
24% of the width, bottom-right, in white or navy
  • Headlines are sentence case and under eight words.
  • Light for a statement, Bold for an instruction — never both on one poster.
  • Nothing sits in the margin except the photograph.
