Fonts and text styles

The primary font used should always be Open Sans. We have decided to stick to using pixels and not rems because of the risk of having to refactor multiple pages in trying to transition to a different size system. So let's keep pixels.

Default body size is 14px. General rule is to try to work with that first, also playing with different weights, and only if for some reason that's not good, move to a different size.

Type	Size desktop	Used for
Body	14px	Body text, Secondary top menu, Main button label, Table titles, Table text, Pagination labels, Text/search/dropdown fields
H1	24px	Page titles
Highlight text	16px	This is an alternative for when body text is not big enough - Primary top menu, loading state for whole page, empty and error states for whole page
Caption	12px	Text/search/dropdown titles, Text/search/dropdown error messages, hint texts and counters
