The official sans-serif font specified by SciLifeLabs visual guide is Lato designed by Łukasz Dziedzic. To use open source/beamerfontthemescilifelab.dtx and replace \usepackage{biolinum} with \usepackage{lato} in line 50.
Since this theme is not on CTAN, it needs to be installed from source:
- Download the source with a
git cloneof the scilifelab repository or as a zip archive of the latest development version. - Compile the style files by running
make styinside the downloaded directory. (Or run LaTeX directly onsource/scilifelabtheme.ins.) - Move the resulting
*.styfiles to the folder containing your presentation. To use the theme with many presentations, runmake installor move the*.styfiles to a folder in your TeX path instead (might requiresudorights). - Use the theme for your presentation by declaring
\usetheme{scilifelab}in the preamble of your Beamer document. - For best results install Mozilla's Fira Sans.
