The University has selected these typefaces for their elegance, readability and compatibility with DU's reputation.

Typography is a key component in building an effective identity program. The following fonts support the University identity system while allowing for a wide range of expression. To that end, most of the typefaces provide large font families with multiple weights.

Adobe Open Type fonts are preferred and are compatible with both Windows and Macintosh platforms.

Minion Pro

Inspired by the timeless beauty of a number of Renaissance fonts, Minion Pro serves as a traditional text font. It adapts well to digital technology, presenting the richness of old forms within modern text formats. Clear and balanced, this font is suitable for almost any use. It was designed by Robert Slimbach in 1992.

Frutiger
