About Graduate

Graduate is a display typeface in the college block style, the lettering that the official notes associate with campuses across the USA. Every curve is replaced by straight segments with chamfered corners, strokes keep an even thickness, and rectangular slab serifs close the stems. The specimen shows no true lowercase: the lowercase positions hold small capitals of the same design, so text sets in capitals of two heights. The zero carries a mark in its centre, which separates it from the letter O. Graduate has a single Regular style and is not a variable font. Its 245 glyphs cover the basic Latin set for languages such as English, French, German, Spanish and Estonian. Eduardo Tunni is the designer, and the font is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Graduate works

Team and club graphics

Chamfered block capitals with slab serifs are the established look of varsity lettering on shirts and banners.

School and university events

A title in capitals and small capitals gives posters and programmes a campus character.

Numbers on jerseys and scoreboards

Figures share the block construction of the letters, and the marked zero cannot be mistaken for O.

Badges and wordmarks

Even strokes and straight segments are easy to outline, stitch or cut for patches and logos.

Use Graduate on the web

Download the family and host the files on your own site, then declare them in CSS. Please do not link to the files on trendhub.net: preview files here are subsets and their addresses change.

  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;

Things to know

Capitals and small capitals only

Lowercase input produces small capitals; Graduate cannot set ordinary mixed-case text.

One style

There is a single Regular file, with no bold or italic.

Basic Latin only

The font has 245 glyphs and no Latin Extended subset, so languages such as Polish, Czech and Turkish are incomplete.
