Typography

Typography shapes how people experience our words before they even begin to read them. The right typefaces bring clarity, tone and personality to our communications, helping our voice feel consistent and authentic across every medium. When used thoughtfully and with care, typography strengthens recognition and reinforces the professionalism and character of the Kansas State University brand.
