Collegiate

Collegiate font by K-Type is a free sans serif typeface that carries the quiet authority of traditional school signage. Inspired by the lettering around the Liverpool Collegiate School mosaic, it has stout, evenly weighted strokes and gently rounded corners that feel sturdy without looking clunky. The overall impression is scholarly but approachable—like painted lettering on old lecture hall doors, translated into clean, digital form.

Using Collegiate, you get a grounded, institutional voice that works beautifully for university branding, heritage projects, book covers, certificates, alumni materials, and campus-style posters. This free font’s solid rhythm and generous shapes stay legible at distance, making it a natural fit for signage and banners too. Pair Collegiate with a light geometric sans for captions, and let Collegiate handle names, titles, and wordmarks at larger sizes.
