HEIMS Typography Preview

Four font directions applied to the same HEIMS-branded layout. All use the brand orange (#e46400). Each section is the same content — only the typography changes. Pick the one that feels most elegant, authoritative, professional, and sophisticated.

Option A
Playfair Display + Inter

Editorial gravitas. Headlines feel like a New York Times feature on craftsmanship; body type is the modern web standard for clean readability. The combination signals serious, considered, established.

How we work with property managers

Property managers don’t have time to chase contractors. Our intake works the way procurement actually works: a single point of contact per account, COI in 24 hours, WSIB clearance on file, and a published response SLA for emergencies. $10M general liability. Member of BOMA Ottawa, the Ottawa Construction Association, and BOMA Canada.

What that looks like on a job

You email Syed. We confirm the same day, walk the site within 48 hours, and price the work within five business days. If the building is occupied, we work around tenants — notifications, dust containment, daily cleanup, and a foreman whose phone you actually have.

Option B
Cormorant Garamond + Source Sans 3

Refined classic. The headline serif has thinner, more elegant strokes than Playfair — it whispers rather than declares. Reads like a high-end architecture firm or a private practice. Most “sophisticated” of the four.

Option C
Fraunces + Inter

Contemporary craftsman. Fraunces is a modern variable serif with subtle warmth — it has personality without losing authority. Signals “we honor tradition, we just do it better.” Sits between A and B.

Option D
Manrope (all-sans)

All-sans alternative if you want zero serif. Manrope is the most sophisticated of the free Google sans-serifs — sharper letterforms, tighter spacing, more weight contrast than Inter alone. Reads as “tech-forward construction” rather than “literary.” Cleanest, lowest risk.
