Purpose

The font or typeface used in Alberta School of Business publications plays an important role in maintaining our visual identity. It is important that there be consistency across all Alberta School of Business web pages with respect to the fonts used. By default, our fonts, their respective sizes and attributes are predefined within our template style sheet. There should never be a need to override the preset standards. This page serves an informational purpose detailing the various settings used pertaining to fonts.
