Body

In accordance with VIU Brand and Marketing department's Visual Brand Guide, Proxima Nova and Proxima Sera  are the fonts of choice for VIU communications and websites. Users of VIU provided Windows computers can find the fonts in the Company PortalFor users of VIU-provided Mac computers however, the instructions for obtaining these fonts are a bit different, and summarized below: 

  1. Open the Launchpad
  2. Search for VIU Software  and open the VIU Software app
  3. Click on Browse in the left hand menus
  4. Click on Fonts
  5. Click the Install button on the Proxima Nova Light and Proxima Sera Fonts entry on the right.
  6. Click Install again
  7. Once installation shows complete you can close the VIU Software app. If the new fonts are not immediately available in your Office applications you may need to restart your Mac to allow the fonts to be recognized.
    • Save any open work
    • Click on the Apple icon in the top left
    • Click on Restart...

For a quick font installation, the process should only take a few minutes. If the installation shows a spinning circle for an extended period, try restarting your laptop. This often helps by prompting the Jamf client (software that VIU uses to manage its Mac computers) to restart and complete the installation.
