While this doesn't necessarily pertain directly to the College of Arms, seeing as though we maintain heraldic aesthetic, I figured this would be the most appropriate place to broach the question:
Does Talossa have a codified design aesthetic? Meaning standardized letterheads, font styles, sizes and colors, and formatting for government publications?
My interest was sparked by the arrival of my ballot in my email.
If we don't have one, would anyone who is a typeface and design nerd be interested in teaming up and making one?

Not only would no one object (I'm sure) but such an effort would be greatly encouraged. I wonder where such a thing might properly belong...hmm...initially I was thinking the Ministry of Stuff, but no, this would imply that with each change of government, the entire look and feel of Kingdom publications might change. Perhaps a Royal Office, then, and my initial instinct there is The Scribery! How about you contact the Scribe of Abbavilla, Vitxalmour Conductour, and he can, if he agrees it's something His Majesty would like to see done under the auspices of the Scribery, create a bureau or something within the Scribery and put a certain typeface and design nerd in charge of that bureau?

Sounds like a plan! I had also forgotten about the Scribery!

Sounds like a plan! I had also forgotten about the Scribery! Easy to do, we're not as flashy as the College of Arms. Be careful as you proceed though. We here in the Scribery still whisper terrifying tales of what gruesome fate befell the last hapless soul to offer his assistance in a proposed project to the Scribery. Which is odd, since it's just me here.

I'm willing to see how far down the rabbit hole goes.
I do think a group would be best for this, so here's a shoutout to all those typeface nerds, book lovers, design junkies, and anyone else who wants to see something that's been published by the government and wants go say "damn, that looks official." We need your imput!
