Next to our logo marks our typefaces, Figtree and Adobe Garamond Pro, play the biggest role in establishing our brand look. Figtree is a readily available Google Font. If you have any issues or questions about installing Figtree , or to install the Garamond Pro typeface, contact Information Services for assistance.
Figtree is the College’s primary typeface and should be used the majority of the time. It’s a large family with many weights that should be used strategically to create hierarchy among information on the page.
A customized version of Adobe Garamond Pro was used to create the Champlain College wordmark. This small type family is also used as the College’s of official secondary typeface, though it’s primarily reserved for use in formal communications.
Used as a supplementary or tertiary typeface, Archer compliments the clean lines and smooth edges of Figtree. It should be used for display purposes as an engaging headline or a pull-quote.
Another tertiary or supplementary option, Caveat is Champlain College’s official hand-written typeface, used to add a personal voice to the brand. It should be used sparingly.
