Merriweather is the university's primary typeface. It is used for body text in print, as well as in letters and reports. You can use the complete font family, but regular, italic and bold are the most commonly used styles.
Characteristics of Merriweather
- Its classic, serif design conveys tradition and reliability.
- Despite its classic appearance, the typeface is optimised for on-screen reading.
- Its slightly condensed letterforms and large x-height make it highly legible, even in small sizes.
