Two faces, and the job each one has
General Sans speaks twice on a page: the title, and the heading of each section. Everything a visitor reads, scans or presses is Switzer. No italic is loaded, so emphasis is carried by weight.
General Sans, Medium
Send us the contract before you sign it.
Switzer, Regular and Semibold
Before you sign anything
If you are buying, send us the contract of sale and the vendor statement first. You get a call that tells you what is in them and what to ask the agent.
One ladder, made by a base and a ratio
The framework keeps two scales, one for headings and one for text. Each is a base size and a ratio, entered once for a phone and once for a wide screen, and it works out every size between. On a wide screen both scales use the same ratio, so they land on the same rungs. A rung with a job is named. The rest exist in the build and are not used.
Headings
Text
A page, read from top to bottom
Bare headings and paragraphs with no class on them, which is how most of the site's copy arrives from the content library. The phone beside it is the same markup in a frame 360 wide. The gaps between elements are set in step 3.

Buying or selling property
Conveyancing is the legal work of moving a property out of one owner's name and into another's. Either way you deal with a conveyancer, and the firm's property lawyers stand behind them.
What happens between your first call and the keys
If you are buying, send us the contract of sale and the vendor statement first. You get a call that tells you what is in them and what to ask the agent. Your conveyancer then runs the searches, deals with the other side and your lender, and books the date. As a buyer you may have a cooling-off period, which is a short window after signing in which you can withdraw.
Before you sign anything
The contract and the vendor statement are read before you sign, and the risks are explained to you. Read what happens when I buy a property if you would rather start there.
- Planning restrictions, owners corporation rules and any covenant on the land are checked.
- Any stamp duty concession or exemption you are entitled to is claimed.
- Your lender or broker is kept in step, so the money is ready on the day.
Her advice and ability to be so thorough was very reassuring when making such a big decision.
Settlement day, and what follows
Settlement happens online. The balance is paid, the title moves into the buyer's name and the agent releases the keys.

Two things the heading face is never asked to do
Both rules are shown here so they can be judged by eye. Two faces at one size read as a mistake rather than a choice, so General Sans stays on the two largest headings; and the title holds its weight, because a light title gives out on a phone.

What goes into the dashboard
Each line is a real setting in Automatic CSS 4.0.1 and the value to enter. The global heading style is the sans, and the two largest headings carry General Sans as an override, so a heading nobody thought about lands on the safe face.
