OUR

By using the right messaging , tone of voice , and visual components from our brand toolkit such as colour and font , we are able to develop our brand in a positive and confident direction .
We use two different fonts that complement each other perfectly – a more traditional serif , together with a modern sans-serif . Getting the combination of these right is important and depends on the channel they are being used on , and the objective of the message . If you need advice , please email brand @ keele . ac . uk

Palatino font

Designed by Hermann Zapf , and initially released in 1949 – the same year that Keele was founded . The font was named after Giambattista Palatino , a master of calligraphy from the time of Leonardo da Vinci and is probably the most universally admired .

Gotham font

Designed by American type designer Tobias Frere-Jones in 2000 . Gotham is a family of widely used geometric sans-serifs . The letterforms are inspired by a form of architectural signage that achieved popularity in the mid-twentieth century .
Please note that Gotham isn ’ t available on standard PCs and you will need to purchase a licence in order to use the font . An alternative fallback to Gotham is Arial , but this should never be used on highly visible marketing materials .
