Primary serif typeface

Tiempos

Our primary serif typeface looks editorial yet fresh. This typeface proved itself to be a solid embodiment of the Clemson dichotomy – traditional yet modern and innovative. Offering a wide range of faces, particularly in its text set, it is more legible than past typefaces, including Goudy. Its “fine” set of styles offer sharp serifs and high contrast, adding to the legibility.

Trade Gothic Next LT

The primary sans serif typeface provides more diversity in an existing font. Clemson already has invested heavily in the use of Trade Gothic. This new, refined version adds some additional styles and weights to the family of fonts already in use campuswide. A “draftsman” font, this mechanical, tactile and architectural font fits Clemson’s work ethic, serving as the humble, perhaps more blue-collar font of our font family.
