Typography

Primary typeface

To maintain a consistent look, the official Concordia typeface is Gill Sans Nova, which should be used as a main title typeface and as much as possible in body copy, provided the font is available in the software platform being used for design and that the creator has an appropriate font usage licence (Please check with UCS if you are unsure.)

Where Gill Sans Nova (or Gill Sans in Canva) is not available for use on promotional materials or you do not have a licence, please use Arial. Arial should also be used for all other documents such as letters, Word documents, reports, and emails.
