Typeface Standards

Print

- Can be used in all its weights and styles.
- Used as the primary headline and body copy typeface for all University publications.
- Only body text family used for Butler Magazine and all printed alumni publications.
Exceptions are allowed for cases of limited promotional duration (e.g., events, arts productions, concerts, or lectures), provided that the artwork does not dilute the integrity of the University's identity.

Palatino

Adobe Garamond semibold or bold is recommended for use when the serifs would be too thin based on the point size or resolution.

Verdana should be used in cases where the serifs are too thin based on the point size.
