Together, these three fonts—League Gothic, with its bold, direct look and feel, Milo with its clean, practical, and yet refined style, and Crimson with its more traditional academic distinction—create an aspirational, approachable, and bold grouping that works well together as a family.

Headline typeface

League Gothic is the headline font in Houston’s brand. It can be used for big typographic moments and in all caps with shadow behind the type. It can be used on an upward right slant when copy length allows. The angling of League Gothic communicates the progressive and enterprising ideas that the University stands for.

Secondary typeface

Milo is the secondary headline typeface for the Houston brand. It is also suitable for subheads, pull quotes, and title pages. For situations where legibility must be immediate such as with billboards, it can be used as body copy. In these situations the headlines should appear in all-caps. The overall sentence case of the University of Houston brand suggests approachability. Milo also serves as the primary typeface for web usage.
