Enschede type foundry in the Netherlands. 1961Carter’s first cut of his version of a semi-bold Dante typeface. He then worked for Mergenthaler 1976Linotype desiging typefaces. While there he created Bell Cen- tennial for Bell Telephone Com- pany. “As the saying goes, type is a beautiful group of letters, not a group of beautiful letters.” -Matthew Carter 1962 He created the logo design for British satirical magazine Private Eye. Matthew Carter was one of the last people to learn how to cut metal type, these simple outlines of the type Georgia remind me of metal cutouts Carter and his colleague Mike Parker created Bitstream Inc. 1981 Carter left Bitstrem Inc. to form the Carter & Cone 1991type foundry with Cherie Cone. Georgia Verdana Carter designed for Apple and Microsoft computeres. Verdana and Georgia typefaces were made to be viewed easily on computer monitors. Type analysis and comparison of Georgia and Times Roman Carter is a member of AGI, Alliance Graphique Internationale He has also designed typefaces for many publications such as: Typefaces Carter has designed: Bell Centennial Big Caslon Bitstream Charter Big Figgins Carter Sans Cascade Script Elephant Fenway ITC Galliard Gando Georgia Mantinia Meiryo Miller Monticello Nina Olympian Rocky Shelley Script Snell Roundhand Skia Sophia Tahoma Verdana Vincent Walker Wilson Greek Wrigley Yale Matthew Carter “I’m not sorry that I began by learning to make type before learning to design it, I would not necessarily recommend it to a student nowadays.” -Matthew Carter “I look to how the designer has resolved the tension of producing a utilitarian thing with tight construction constraints while including part of themselves in the finished work,” he says. “Our alphabet hasn’t changed in eons; there isn’t much latitude in what a designer can do with the individual letters. Much like a piece of classical music, the score is written down – it’s not something that is tampered with – and yet, each conductor interprets that score differently. There is tension in the interpretation.” -Matthew Carter.

Choosing Fonts – Quick Tips
Choosing Fonts – Quick Tips 1. Choose complementary fonts – choose a font that matches the mood of your design. For business cards, it is probably best to choose a classic font. *Note: These fonts are not available in Canva, but are in the Microsoft Office Suite. For some good Canva options, go to this link – https://www.canva.com/learn/canva-for-work-brand-fonts/ Examples: Serif Fonts: Sans Serif Fonts: Times New Roman Helvetica Cambria Arial Georgia Verdana Courier New Calibri Century Schoolbook 2. Establish a visual hierarchy – Use fonts to separate different types of information and guide the reader - Use different fonts, sizes, weights (boldness), and even color - Example: Heading (Helvetica, SZ 22, Bold) Sub-heading (Helvetica, SZ 16, Italics) Body Text (Garamond, SZ 12, Regular) Captions (Garamond, SZ 10, Regular 3. Mix Serifs and Sans Serifs – This is one of the best ways to add visual interest to type. See in the above example how I combined Helvetica, a sans serif font, with Garamond, a serif font. 4. Create Contrast, Not Conflict: Fonts that are too dissimilar may not pair well together. Contrast is good, but fonts need a connecting element. Conflict Contrast 5. Use Fonts from the Same Family: These fonts were created to work together. For example, the fonts in the Arial or Courier families. 6. Limit Your Number of Fonts: No more than 2 or 3 is a good rule – for business cards, choose 2. 7. Trust Your Eye: These are not concrete rules – you will know if a design element works or not! .

Alien Heads Found in Georgia
Georgia Alien heads found in Georgia Georgia is a serif typeface designed in 1993 by Matthew Carter and hinted by Tom Rickner for the Microsoft Corporation. The font is inspired by Scotch Roman designs of the 19th century and was based on designs for a print typeface in the same style Carter was working on when contacted by Microsoft. Georgia were released by Microsoft in 1996 as part of the Core Fonts for the Web collection. The typeface's name referred to a tabloid headline claiming“Alien heads found in Georgia.” As a transitional serif design, Georgia shows a number of traditional features of rational serif typefaces from around the early 19th century, such as alternating thick and thin strokes, ball terminals, a vertical axis and an italic taking inspiration from calligraphy. It features a large x-height (tall lower-case letters) and its thin strokes are thicker than would be common on a typeface designed for display use or the higher resolution of print. Besides, Georgia's bold is also unusually bold and bolder than most bolds.

Style Guide: Best Practices in Formatting
Style Guide: Best Practices in Formatting According to Colin Wheildon, author of Type & Layout: Are You Communicating or Just Making Pretty Shapes, it’s possible that 75% of your readers attempting to access your content (whether online, in print, or via email) will disregard what you’re saying based solely on the type of font you choose. That’s right—75%! That’s why it’s critically important to choose fonts that are clean and accessible and to choose a layout that is visual but not busy. Don’t try to pack too much into your layout, or else you may run the risk of your message being lost. First, let’s look at the differences between a “serif” and “sans serif” font. Serif fonts are more embellished, with small lines attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. Popular serif fonts include Times New Roman, Georgia, and Garamond. Many books, newspaper, and magazines use a serif font. In print mediums, serif fonts are often easier to read. Sans serif fonts don’t have the added embellishments. These fonts are often used in advertisements, and are generally easier to read. In print, sans serif fonts are often used as a headline, whereas serif fonts are used for the body text. Popular sans serif fonts include Helvetica, Arial, and Calibri. There are some simple best practices in formatting print, online, and email communications for your organization. These best practices will make your information easier to understand and more accessible to the average reader. When do I use a serif font like Times New Roman or Garamond? For print items, it’s suggested to utilize serif fonts for brochures, donation letters in the mail, etc.

Man of Letters: Matthew Carter's Life in Type Design
MAN OF LETTERS Matthew Carter's life in type design BY ALEC WILKINSON Onward And Upward With The Arts; Pg. 56 December 5, 2005 Matthew Carter is often described as the most widely read man in the world. Carter designs typefaces. He is universally acknowledged as the most significant designer of type in America, and as having only one or two peers in Europe. A well regarded British type designer named Dave Farey once told a reporter, "There's Matthew Carter, and then there's the rest of us." Carter is sixty‐eight. He is British, and he lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He works in a room in his apartment. He has designed type for magazines such as Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, Sports Illustrated, Wired, National Geographic, and Business Week; and for newspapers, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Guardian, in London. He designed Verdana, for several years the signature typeface of Microsoft; Bell Centennial, the typeface used by A.T. & T. in the phone book; and type called Galliard, which has been used by the U.S. Postal Service on a stamp. Carter has a partner named Cherie Cone who lives in California and sees to the business side of their firm, which is called Carter & Cone Type. Recently, he's been engaged with three projects. One involved designing type for Le Monde, the French newspaper, which wanted a different appearance; one, still under way, is for Yale, where Carter teaches (the university wants a typeface for its official documents, its signs, and the work of its students and faculty); and the third was for the Times.

Role Serif Display Pro
Morisawa Inc. Role Serif Display Pro Role Serif is part of the first stand-alone Latin typeface family released by Morisawa. Other genres in the family include Slab, Sans and Soft. Role Serif has the clearest image of seriousness or faithfulness among other styles. Text has the lowest contrast and the sturdy serifs for high legibility. The contrast gets higher for Display and Banner to help the look become more elegant. The letterforms are optimised for the target usage of each optical range. The letterforms of Text are consistent but morphs into the more decorative design for Display and Banner. The Display is in between Text and Banner and looks more graceful than Text but not too prominent to affect the versatility. Ban- ner is the most elegant design. The characteristic is more emphasised especially for the heavier weights where the widths narrow down.
