EFI

Europe’s Futures Initiatives

The essential reference for the EFI identity — colour, typography, logo and the principles that keep every application coherent. Designed by Studio Sasken.

01 — Colour

A plum foundation, electric accents

Deep Plum carries the structure and typography. Soft White is the canvas. The four secondary colours appear as highlight blocks and accents — never as the dominant surface.

Primary

Secondary

Tap any swatch to copy its hex. Secondary colours may be used as lighter tints for highlight blocks — keep them supporting, never the page background.

02 — Typography

Three voices, one system

Suisse Neue sets the structure, Zuume Bold supplies impact, and Parabolica Text carries the reading — always in Deep Plum.

Impact display
Zuume Bold
Shape the futures.

For headlines and statements at large scale — confident, condensed, never timid.

Display & headlines
Suisse Neue
Clarity is the brand’s default posture.

A neo-grotesque for headings, labels and UI — clean, neutral, European.

Body text
Parabolica Text
Europe’s Futures Initiatives convenes the people, ideas and institutions that shape what comes next — translating foresight into action across the continent.

Regular & Medium for long-form reading. Always set in Deep Plum.

The specimens above are set in EFI’s licensed faces — Suisse Neue, Zuume Bold and Parabolica Text. Use these same files in applications, within the bounds of their EULAs.
