Sussex Baskerville is principally used for headings and can be found in our logos, whereas Franklin Gothic is generally used for body text but can also be used for headings. All the agencies on our approved designers list have got our fonts and will work with them in industry-standard design software (Quark and InDesign).

If you're working in any other software (eg Word), Arial is our default font and to be used for both headings and body text. Arial should be used for all University of Sussex correspondence. This applies to letters, faxes, etc.

To make our publications easy to read and readily accessible for people with visual impairments, all text is to be left aligned and not justified (ie with the right-hand margin left uneven).
