The Accent Line
Raute’s green accent line is a subtle supporting element that adds recognition, rhythm, and a touch of Nature Green to layouts. It is typically placed under key headlines to reinforce hierarchy.
The line is optional and should be used sparingly, usually only once per layout, always supporting rather than competing with content.
It follows the headline's alignment, with a typical length of about 3 letters and an aspect ratio of approximately 15:1.
Usage
The length of the accent line is typically approximately equal to three letters of the headline width.
The space between the headline and the accent line should be 5 - 10 times the thickness of the line.
The accent line is aligned with the headline.
Line aspect ratio
The aspect ratio of the accent line is 15:1.
Line Thickness
The accent line should always appear visually lighter than the typography above it. As a general rule, its thickness should be thinner than the stroke width of an uppercase "I" in the headline font.
