Brand Fonts
|
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ uses the Albert Sans, Forza, and P22 Mackinac Pro font families for all marketing and communications materials. We encourage faculty and staff to use these fonts for presentations, public documents, correspondence, and any materials representing the university. All fonts are available for use within the Canva Enterprise account and Albert Sans is a free Google Font that all campus stakeholders can utilize on their university devices. For interest in using Forza or P22 Mackinac Pro outside of the official Canva Enterprise account, please contact Sam Wallace, Senior Director of Creative Services. Each of our approved fonts offers a full range of styles that allow for flexibility in creating clear hierarchy and visual interest across your materials. When designing content, it’s best to limit the number of font sizes and styles used within a single piece. Think of your messaging in 2–4 layers, using bolder or larger styles for the most important information and lighter or smaller styles for supporting details. This helps maintain consistency, readability, and a strong visual identity throughout all university communications. Albert Sans> Request Additional Fonts>
