Fonts

Font selection for copy in letters, marketing pieces, etc. is largely unrestricted. However, there are certain typefaces that do have use limitations in order to maintain brand integrity.

University of Connecticut Extended

The unique and custom typeface designed for the UConn primary wordmark, used by the University, UConn Athletics, and UConn Health. When used as part of the Brand Identity System, the words 'UCONN,' 'Huskies,' and 'University of Connecticut' appear in University of Connecticut Extended. In these cases, the font is considered a graphic as opposed to type.

University of Connecticut Extended may not be used as a typeface on its own, nor may individual letters be used in artwork or for any other graphic element. Typefaces that resemble University of Connecticut Extended should not be used to replicate or mimic the UConn wordmark or any other element of the Brand Identity System. Questions regarding the usage of the University of Connecticut Extended typeface may contact brand@uconn.edu.

Gotham

The typeface selected for the 'University of Connecticut' type in the primary wordmark, and established custom wordmarks for UConn Health, Schools, Colleges, regional campuses, and UConn Health clinicals.

Usage of the Gotham font family is permitted on institutional communications, but is not mandated. Do not use Gotham or a look-alike font that resembles Gotham to create a personalized wordmark. To create a personalized wordmark, please contact your School or College's communications/marketing representative or email brand@uconn.edu.

Arial

The typeface selected for personalized custom wordmarks for departments and affiliated groups. This font is editable and should be used as a complement to the wordmark system.

To create a personalized wordmark, please contact your School or College's communications/marketing representative or email brand@uconn.edu.

Outside of these minor restrictions, simply utilize discretion when choosing fonts that complement the UConn brand. Please note that when used in cases other than the wordmark, the word UConn should simply be written as 'UConn' not 'UCONN'. Likewise, the words UConn Health should simply be written as 'UConn Health' not 'UCONN Health' or 'UCONN HEALTH'.
