It was brought to my attention that the form builder guide doesn't follow the rules for community resources and tools[0] with regards to fonts and the use of the crown logo. This puts the library in a slightly difficult situation because it's raison d'être is to make building apps that follow the Design System easier. The crown logo has been removed and GOV.UK in the header replaced with 'Department for Education'. On the typography front, the relevant section of the Design System docs[1] states: > If your service is publicly available on a subdomain other than > service.gov.uk, use an alternative typeface like Helvetica or Arial. Neither of the suggested fonts look close like GDS Transport. Not looking like the thing we're building for would be a huge failure of the guide; it might even make people think they're incompatible. Instead my company (Graphia Ltd), has bought licences for New Transport[2], the font GDS Transport is based on. While not exact, they are similar enough that casual users probably won't notice a difference.

It was brought to my attention that the form builder guide doesn't follow the rules for community resources and tools with regards to fonts and the use of the crown logo.
As a result the crown logo in the header, the 'official' brand shade of blue, the coat of arms in the footer and the GDS Transport font have been removed.
There is more information and disucssion in the corresponding PR on the GOV.UK components library.
