Typography

Open Sans

Open Sans is the main font family used by BenchPrep. It should be used for all headers, sub headers and text. To ensure a consistent look, make sure fonts are used in a consistent manner and the weights of the font have been considered, using heavier weights for headers to highlight key messages.

Times New Roman

The Times font family is used for the content of the learning modules, such as practice questions, tests and flash cards. Because some of the content contains mathematical equations that require MathML, and Times is one of the font families used to implement MathML, BenchPrep uses Times for all content to maintain consistency.

MathML

Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) is a mathematical markup language, an application of XML for describing mathematical notations and capturing both its structure and content. It aims at integrating mathematical formulae into World Wide Web pages and other documents. BenchPrep uses Times as the font in content sections of the web app where MathML is involved. Listed below is a sample of MathML markup.
