CapilanoU implements website font that supports Indigenous characters, syllabics

Capilano University has launched a new website font—BC Sans—in order to accurately display the special characters and syllabics found in British Columbia’s Indigenous languages. “The new font aligns with CapU’s values and respectful practices and ensures our font is highly readable and capable of displaying Indigenous languages properly,” said CapilanoU Manager of Creative Cari Bird. BC Sans is a free, open-source typeface that was developed with input by FirstVoices and investments by the Government of British Columbia.
