Typography
Typography brings weight to the stories we tell. The words we choose are important. But the fonts selected to convey them should never be overlooked.
Canada Bold, our title font
Canada Bold stands out due to its offbeat yet approachable style, used as headlines. Over time, this unique font has the potential to become a strong branding element associated with Destination Canada.
Canada Bold is never to be used in lowercase
Canada Bold is the only weight we use
Canada Bold is not well-suited for long copy.

Photo layout
Though a single powerful image is preferred, this layout system is to be used when there are more than one or two photos in a communications piece. The format is divided into 16 equal rectangles. Half the page will be filled with colour and type, and the other half will be filled with images (1 to 4 photos).
Short and simple headlines will work great here
