Logo
Our logo comes in both a vertical and horizontal format. The usage of vertical vs. horizontal will vary with each project. When space allows, the vertical format is the preferred format to use.
Vertical Logo
Horizontal Logo
Clearspace
The clear space is an area of white space (or negative space) around the logo. No text, visuals or graphics can violate the clear space—it must be kept free of these elements in order for the logo to stand out. The clearance zone is defined by the height of the “C” from the word “Century” on all four sides.
Primary Signage Typeface
Montserrat is the Primary Signage font that is used for community names and callouts. Community names should always be in all caps/bold font and messaging can be in sentence case to make sure there are some variety of styles for heirarchy.
Secondary Signage Typeface
Georgia Pro is our secondary signage font. This should be used sparingly for small callouts and draws the main message in with little text. For signage, we like to keep this font Italicized for pricing and other callouts that we may want to keep visually interesting.
