Font for the Standard Works

[bradleyburgess-p40]

Hi all

Which font exactly do they use for the LDS Standard Works?

Thanks,
Bradley

That depends on the medium. lds.org, the iPhone, and iPad appear to be defaulting to Georgia. Most non-English copies of the Book of Mormon that use a Roman script appear to be set with Palatino. I don't know what typeface was used in printing the 1979 and 1981 LDS editions of the English standard works.

If I remember, English LDS Scriptures are created in Great Britain with a standard typeface of Oxford University Press, or a thing like that... I believe this font aren't available for download.

I agree with above and add that Dutch 801 is used in the new church maps and photos.

If you want a close approximation to that used in the English standard works try Linotype Monticello as discussed here:

Montecello uses the wrong 'g' - perhaps Baskerville is a better match?
