A poster stuck on a grey concrete wall which is in bright natural light. The poster reads 'UAL AKO Storytelling Institute, Where creative practice meets social transformation, explore our work'. The poster has 2 images and the text flows around the images to frame them.

Our primary font family is Helvetica Neue LT Pro. We have 2 weights available:

  • Helvetica Neue LT Pro 55 Roman/Regular for headings and body copy.
  • Helvetica Neue LT Pro 75 Bold for headings.

Our secondary typeface is Arial. It should only be used when Helvetica Neue is not available.

Like Helvetica, we use two weights:

  • Arial Regular for body copy.
  • Arial Bold for headings.

Arial Bold
Arial Bold
  • For accessibility reasons we minimise the use of italics in print and do not use it at all in digital.
  • Do not distort the typefaces or use any weights or cuts of Helvetica Neue that are not listed above.
  • When creating webpages, please use our University heading style. We set the line height of our headings online from 110% to 150% of the type size so there are no accessibility or legibility issues.
