The Leitura Sans Family
The primary body text typeface for Birmingham-
Southern College is Leitura Sans. This typeface is a
versatile sans serif font.
When circumstances require a font more appropriate
for lengthy copy (e.g., in a recruiting poster or
brochure), the communicator should use Leitura
Sans Grot 1. It should be used secondarily to Dobra
Slab and not in headlines. Body copy can be set
at 9 to 14 point, but 9 point type over 12 point
leading is standard for lengthy copy. Here are other
recommendations for longer copy blocks:
- 10 point type over 13.5 point leading
- 11 point type over 14.5 point leading
- 12 point type over 16 point leading
- 13 point type over 17.25 point leading
- 14 point type over 19 point leading
Leitura Sans, in its heavier weights, can be used for
sub-heads and smaller blocks of emphasis text.
Leitura Sans is readily available for purchase
online at various sites. Please contact the Office of
Communications at x4902 or
[email protected]for details.
