The University of California, Berkeley (also known as Berkeley, UC Berkeley) is a public research university in Berkeley, California, founded in 1868. It is a renowned university known for its diverse student body and innovative research in a variety of fields.
Berkeley's logo uses the serif font California Old Style, designed by American type designer Frederic W. Goudy in 1938, solely for the University of California Press. This font has since been revived for wider use, including versions like Californian from Lanston Type Company and ITC Berkeley Oldstyle. The sans serif text ''University of California'' in the logo uses Depot New Medium, a humanist sans serif created by English type designer Chris Dickinson.
