Our primary typeface is Proxima Nova, available in regular, semi bold, bold, and extrabold weights. It serves as the foundation for all college communications, offering clarity, versatility, and a modern aesthetic.

Typographic Style

Large Titles

Large titles should be used on posters or brochure covers where the extrabold typeface can be read clearly and where space allows.

Proxima Nova Extrabold | 50 pt font size | 50 pt leading | -20 tracking

Small Titles

Small titles should be used on flyers, internal documents, or anywhere an eye-grabbing headline is needed but space is not abundant.

Proxima Nova Bold | 25 pt font size | 29 pt leading | -20 tracking

Subtitles

A subtitle is a short sentence on flyers or documents that brings additional context to the title. This is most often used following small titles rather than large titles due to limited document space.

Proxima Nova Semibold | 10 pt font size | 13 pt leading

Header 1

The Header 1 treatment helps separate document sections. Excessive use of all caps can reduce legibility, so these should be used sparingly where document layouts require distinct visual grouping.

Header 2

The Header 2 treatment provides additional sub-groups within a Header 1 section. Use of title case improves its legibility at smaller sizes.

Body Text

Proxima Nova regular provides a clear sans-serif paragraph font that is legible at small sizes and in areas featuring lots of descriptive text.

Specialty Typefaces

In addition to our primary typeface, Proxima Nova, EICC employs two specialty display fonts for limited applications tied to identity and spirit wear.

Factoria Bold

Used for the “EICC” all-caps lettering featured on apparel, merchandise, and select spirit materials. Its strong, geometric structure conveys confidence and durability, aligning with the college’s bold, modern personality.
