What they are referring to is that the Arrow type font was used to create the MSU logo, used to spell out Michigan State University.  I believe that the Arrow type font is a type setters font, and not available as a Microsoft true type font or other font usable with windows printing.  There is no Arrow font that you can use in applications like Word or Word Perfect that I know of.  You have to use the logo as a graphic in your document. 
If your having a printing shop make up something with the MSU logo on it.. they have to use the Arrow font to follow the standard.
The standard was not made with the windows environment in mind.

Subject: [MSUNAG] MSU 'Arrow' Font Type

I had an inquiry from a member of our staff today about the MSU ‘Arrow’ font type.  As mentioned on a couple official MSU pages:

 

“The OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY LOGOTYPE can only be reproduced as featured in the Arrow type font.”

 

The person making the inquiry mentioned that at one time a few people in our department had the font installed, but we are unable to locate it.  Searches on ‘arrow font’ through search engines are pretty unrewarding, and searching MSU’s site lead me to:

 

graphics.msu.edu

 

which mentioned the above statement, had downloadable images of official logos once signed in, however still provided no link or information about the font itself.

 

Any sources or further information would be appreciated.  Thank you.

 

- Joe
