UCL has two typefaces – Arial and Garamond
Arial is UCL's primary typeface. This is because it is available on all computers and systems at UCL.
Arial can be used in any weight
Helvetica can also be used as an alternative to Arial where available
We also use Garamond as a secondary typeface
Type is an integral element in successful communication.
Using just one typeface can be elegant or modern, vibrant or understated. It just depends on how you use it.
Keep it left aligned, never mix alignment style.
Never use justified text.
