Each has its own characteristics and guidelines for use as follows. Typography: print 1. Franklin Gothic We use Franklin Gothic in both print and electronic media for copy elements such as headlines, subheads, body text, captions and sidebars. We also use it for other internal and external documents such as agendas, minutes, outlines, procedure manuals, regulations and reports. Please observe the following standards: • The only versions of Franklin Gothic approved for Appraisal Institute use are ITC Franklin Gothic and ITC Franklin Gothic Condensed from Adobe®. • You may use these approved versions of Franklin Gothic in Book, Medium, Demi and Heavy weights. • Use minimum leading (spacing between lines) of 2 points greater than the type size (e.g., 8-point type with 10-point leading). • Use Franklin Gothic Italic only to strengthen a concept or emphasize a word or phrase. • You may use Franklin Gothic Heavy for headline, but use it sparingly otherwise. • Avoid using Franklin Gothic Condensed or Compressed for body text. • Never use Franklin Gothic Extra Compressed or Franklin Gothic Oblique Franklin Gothic Book Franklin Gothic Book Italic ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890.,;:’”?!@#$%^&*() 1234567890.,;:’”?!@#$%^&*() Franklin Gothic Medium Franklin Gothic Medium Italic ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890.,;:’”?!@#$%^&*() 1234567890.,;:’”?!@#$%^&*() Franklin Gothic Demi Franklin Gothic Demi Italic ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890.,;:’”?!@#$%^&*() 1234567890.,;:’”?!@#$%^&*() Franklin Gothic Heavy Franklin Gothic Heavy Italic ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 1234567890.,;:’”?!@#$%^&*() 1234567890.,;:’”?!@#$%^&*() — 5 — 2017 Brand Guidelines Update Typography: print (continued) 2. Walbaum We use Walbaum in our corporate signature. Please observe the following standards: • The only version of Walbaum approved for Appraisal Institute use is Berthold Walbaum from Adobe®. • Use Walbaum in its Regular weight only. • Use minimum leading of 2 points greater than the type size (e.g., 8 point type with 10 point leading). • Use Walbaum Italic only to strengthen a concept or emphasize a word or phrase. • Pay particular attention to kerning (the space between letters in a word) when using Walbaum, especially when using large type. As a rule of thumb, set the individual characters tightly, but not touching. • Do not use Walbaum in instances that require many numerals, such as tables, charts or financial reports. Use our other corporate typeface, Franklin Gothic, instead.

Felt That We use the typeface Felt That as a secondary font for sub-headlines, taglines, special text such as graphics and captions, and decorative text. This is an interesting and unique font and may also be used as the font for department communications. Usethis font very sparingly to signal informality or a personal touch. • The only version of Felt That approved for Appraisal Institute use is from Blue VinylFonts. • Use Felt That in its regular weight only. • Pay particular attention to leading (the space between lines) when using Felt That, especially when using smaller type. As a rule of thumb, set the individual leading moderately, and allow no touching. • Do not use Felt That in instances that require many numerals, such as tables, charts or financial reports. Use our other corporate typeface, Franklin Gothic, instead.

Arial We use the typeface Arial for Appraisal Institute internal and external correspondence—letters, fax cover sheets, memos and news releases—as well as in our Web-based applications, email and Word documents. Arial is available on all Appraisal Institute personal computers and is the default typeface on our correspondence templates. Please observe the following standards when using Arial: • Use only the Regular and Black weights of Arial for text and subheads. • Use Arial Narrow only for footnotes and endnotes and in charts, tables and graphs where space is at a premium. • Always use the provided electronic correspondence and forms templates to ensure appropriate type size and spacing.

Our signature (see example to the right) has three elements: our symbol, our name and our tagline. When using our signature, always observe these standards. • Never modify the proportions, spacing and alignment of our symbol, name and tagline. • Never create a new or different version of our signature by combining its three elements in any other configuration. • Rarely use our symbol alone apart from our full name. A exception to this rule would be to use the
