Like color and logo, typography helps maintain brand consistency.  To help ensure all our communication efforts are consistent we use a select set of typefaces.

Official Typeface

• Optima – Embedded in our logo. Instances in which we use Optima: large signage, facilities signage, event announcements, official stationery. Not meant for body text, but for headers and titles.
