But not everyone needs a facelift — the aforementioned ski resort certainly isn't struggling w of trust like so many American banks. And the typeface isn't exactly free of charge. The sm weights costs $149, and it takes $399 to buy the whole family. This brings us to “Most Comm Archer,” number two: it's pretty. The truth is, Archer is an exquisitely designed typeface, and p you use it, maybe your brand will look well designed too. But an elegant typeface doesn't simp functionality. Perhaps Typographica reviewer David John Earls said it best: “Archer succeed only hope that in its use out in the wild…people give it the same level of thought.”As marvelo slab serifs were, sadly they were let down when it came to lighter, or more usable text weigh that stood out, with H&FJ concentrating on the lighter half of the spectrum, eight weights off of contrast, but never venturing heavier than bold. Making a text face distinctive with a clear pe right up to display sizes is a mammoth task at the best of times, but a slab?

metric structure of twentieth century European slab-serifs but imbuing the face with a domestic, less strident tone of voice. The typeface has been used for, among other things, branding for Wells Fargo and is a main font for the San Francisco Chronicle.

Hoefler and Frere - Jones meant for this typeface to be sweet, not saccharine; earnest, not grave. Archer is a typeface that is forthright, credible, and charming. This particular slab serif is a hybrid between antique and geometric. With its two story forms and relatively small x - height it is timidly falls in the antique classification. With its almost perfectly circular “O” and matching non-bracketed serifs, it is also classified as geometric. Archer has many features that set it apart from other typefaces. Its hairlines are graceful gestures. They are painterly uses at large sizes that have low contrast but bold forms. Archer’s numeric are also unique because they fall into the old-style classification due to its lining figures.When type foundry Hoefler & Frere - Jones released its typeface Archer two years ago, it was an instant hit among designers. Multiple corporate giants quickly swept it up for their redesigns. Smaller companies followed suit. Online, Archer became the subject of numerous blogs, with everyone from website designers to scrapbookers granting their approval. No one seemed to have anything bad to say about the slab serif and its elegant and functional, yet subtly quirky forms. Archer was originally commissioned by Martha Stewart Living magazine in 2000. Hoefler & Frere - Jones combined elements of two opposing type styles: the plainness of antique serifs and the modernity of geometrics. Archer uses ball terminals in both the lower and uppercase forms, creating “a font that's friendly without being silly, and attractive without being flashy…well-mannered, easy to work with, and inviting to read,” according to its designers. Archer is the ideal typeface for a magazine that serves all who aspire to a do-it-yourself lifestyle of perfection. Now Archer is everywhere. A simple Google search finds the font being used for a Mexican restaurant, political news blog, church conference catalog, ski resort, file-sharing website, marketing company,charity race poster and digital scrapbook, to name a few of the 234,000 hits. Need more evidence? There's an entire blog documenting Archer's omnipresence. Not all of these implementations are conceptually inappropriate, and most are even aesthetically pleasing. But what is it about Archer that is so alluring? Why now? Archer boomed right when the U.S. economy went bust. With unemployment continuing to soar and businesses declaring bankruptcy, with newspapers and magazines folding and personal savings accounts shrinking, Americans, more than ever, crave trust, comfort, friendliness and other fuzzy feelings. Companies are responding, and Archer may be part of the solution.

The Humanist

Before adopting Archer, Wells Fargo's equivalent typeface was Myriad, a sans serif font known for its precision and readability. Myriad worked fine until culture shifted. Banks needed bailouts and society needed reassurance—Archer to the rescue. Colorful posters with warm images of families and phrases rendered in Archer now adorn each bank. Wells Fargo's brand agency was attracted to Archer's “contemporary personable style” that was both “down-to-earth and confident,” complementing the bank's brand. It wants to be associated with Archer's graceful gestures, secure angles, and playful ball terminals. With similar logic, Newsweek isn't the boring bearer of bad news, it's your friendly next-door neighbor. But not everyone needs a facelift — the aforementioned ski resort certainly isn't struggling with a waning perception of trust like so many American banks. And the typeface isn't exactly free of charge. The smallest package of font weights costs $149, and it takes $399 to buy the whole family. This brings us to “Most Common Reasons for Using
