Designers should note that italic versions of all the font options within both families are available and acceptable to use. Please use the correct italic version – do not electronically italicise the Roman versions above. However, where italic versions are not available in Word, staff can use electronically italicised versions.

Typefaces help to provide consistency in our presentation to the public. Staff should use Ariel for all documents produced in Microsoft Office for example, letters, memos, agenda, minutes, fax cover sheets, reports and emails.

Gill Sans must be used for all signs and headings.

For more information on typefaces please refer to our Style guide and Access for all guidance.

For designers and commercial suppliers, the preferred versions of both Gill Sans and Garamond are manufactured by Adobe Monotype.
