BENTON SANS

The supporting typeface in The University of Texas brand architecture is Benton Sans. It is our official sans serif font and it is extremely versatile with six weights, all with matching italics, and is appropriate for all uses.

It works especially well for bold headlines and shorter blocks of body copy. It’s also suited for smaller captions and call-outs, as well as disclaimer and legal copy.

Digital

When Benton Sans is not available (email, PowerPoint, on-line, etc), use Arial. This font is web friendly and can replace Benton Sans in your web/digital environment.
