Program Imagery and Character Recommendations

Imagery and language work together within a program to create a unique experience that gets a user's attention, conveys a message, and elicits an emotional response. We recommend using these elements to help users understand their progress within a program as an individual, a group, and part of a community.

The following recommendations help display images appropriately and eliminate word wrapping and truncation. In a customized program, sizing and character limits can be adjusted to fit your design.

Note: Blocks use Roboto as the default font. Other supported fonts vary based on browser, operating system, and theme.
