Headlines are in Sora
Subheaders are usually in DM Sans
But Sora in #355995 is a nice alternative sometimes
DM Sans is also used for paragraph text. 17px is a good starting size with 1.8em line height. When possible, avoid displaying paragraph text any smaller than this.
Work Sans Light can be used as a secondary paragraph text for disclaimers and small info. But you’ll use DM Sans most of the time.

Dividers
A great way to incorporate the yellow is as a curved section divider. If multiple dividers are present, only the first and last should be yellow; the others will be a more narrow blue ribbon.
