Fonts

We recommend three fonts for use in Stanford communication: Source Sans Pro, Source Serif Pro, and Crimson Text.

For more information and guidelines for installing fonts on your computer, please visit the Stanford Identity page on typography.

Source Sans Pro


Source Sans Pro is Stanford’s primary sans serif font and should be used in print, web, and social media communications. Though Source Sans Pro is used in the GSE signature with the Stanford wordmark, treat the signature itself as artwork, as it cannot be accurately reproduced by using a font.

Source Sans Pro Semibold

Source Sans Pro Regular

Source Sans Pro Italic

Source Sans Pro Light

Source Serif Pro


Source Serif Pro is Stanford’s primary serif font and should be used in headlines and body copy, and as the primary serif font in web and social media communications.

Source Serif Pro Semibold

Source Serif Pro Regular

Crimson Text


Crimson Text is a secondary serif font, and can be used for headlines in print communications.
