Typefaces

Everything we say, we say with purpose, and our typography is designed to help us do just that.

We use two typefaces in our flagship brand and campaign communications. Shuttleblock is our headline typeface, packed with confidence and purpose. Public Sans is our body typeface and is chosen for its clarity, accessibility and flexibility. Both typefaces need to be downloaded from specialist sources and are intended to be used by design professionals.

For Royal Holloway colleagues, Arial is our everyday typeface, available in the Microsoft software suite installed on all University computers.
