Whether you're attending Yale or the School of Hard Knocks, Universal College Demo (free for personal use; $39 for commercial use) will make sure everyone knows it. A True Type font from Fonts Cafe, the ubiquitous college logo font is made extra special in Universal College with a notebook-sketched look, a bit rough around the edges.

Note: Universal College Demo is free for personal use; commercial users must pay $39. To use this font, unzip the folder and install the .ttf file in the folder C:\Windows\Fonts. Note that the font won't appear in your applications until you close and re-open it. For more guidance see How to Install and Uninstall Fonts in Windows.
