UBC Fonts Request Form

Our institutional fonts are available for free to UBC faculties and units. Requests can be made by UBC faculty and staff who have a UBC email address. Our font license does not cover students or external providers at this time.

Whitney, UBC’s primary font, can be ordered as a web font (only for websites) or as a desktop font (for any design project other than websites). Our secondary font, Guardian Egyptian, is only available as a desktop font, and can not be used on websites.

*Please note that Microsoft Office programs, including Word, PowerPoint and Outlook, may experience technical difficulties with third-party fonts. You may notice that Whitney and Guardian do not display properly in these programs. To avoid these issues, we recommend using Arial in Microsoft Office programs. Please use Whitney and Guardian in all other programs.
