New OHIO fonts available for download

Ohio University is implementing new fonts to align with the current branding, Forever OHIO, which are now available to download as of May 6, 2021.

The two main typefaces are P22 Mackinac and Termina, chosen to feel modern and youthful but also possible to have been found in the drawers of a 100-year-old letter press shop. The secondary typefaces are Proxima Nova and Industry. For more information on font usage and guidelines, visit https://www.ohio.edu/ucm/ohio-brand/typography

P22 Mackinac, Termina, Proxima Nova and Industry are to replace the previous OHIO fonts of EB Garamond, Barlow and Zilla Slab. Full adoption of the new fonts across the institution is required to maintain consistency in the University’s brand.

A limited number of desktop licenses for University brand fonts for print reproduction purposes are available for faculty and staff. To download, users can request the fonts via Self Service (Mac) or Software Center (Windows) by on the OIT website

Any member of the University community with an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription managed by the Office of Information Technology may activate the fonts for use using this method as an alternative. Individuals with Adobe Creative Cloud licenses are encouraged to activate the fonts via this method due to a limited number of font download licenses. View the  Adobe Fonts licensing documentation  for further information. For more information on how to activate fonts for Adobe Creative Cloud subscription holders, visit  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/add-fonts.html

Visit the OHIO Brand website for more information about the Forever OHIO brand, as well as resources regarding logo usage, brand colors and branded downloads.
