Avante Garde Gothic

Designed by: Herb Lubalin,Tom Carnase

In 1970 Herb Lubalic and Tom Carnase partnered together and designed the geometric sans serif typeface Avante Garde Gothic. This typeface was based off of Lubalin’s logo and headline for Avante Garde Magazine. Avante Garde Gothic wasn’t initially designed to be full or commercially available.The condensed version was drawn by Ed Benguiat in 1974, and obliques designed by André Gürtler, Erich Gschwind and Christian Mengelt in 1977. Today the modern version comes with many unique ligatures and alternate characters.

Designed by: Adrian Frutiger

In 1988 Avenir was designed by Adrian Frutiger and released by Linotype. The design is based on two earlier sans serif typefaces, Erbar and Futura. Frutiger described Avenir as a geometric sans serif with a human touch. The original version of Avenir only had 3 styles. The popularity of the typeface brought on a new form of Avenir in 2004 called Avenir Next. Frutiger worked along side type designer Akira Kobayashi on Avenir Nex. Together they reworked the entire font to fix digital display problems.

Bauer Bodoni

Designed

by:

Heinrich

Jost

The original Bodoni font was named after its designer, Giamattista Bodoni in 1798, he was often referred to as the King of Printers. Multiple variations of Bodoni have been created since then. In 1926 Bauer Bodoni was designed by Heinrich Jost for the Bauer Foundry. Jost was the artistic director of the foundry from 1923 until 1948. The forms are closely related to the original Bodoni typefaces, and are considered to be more delicate and graceful than many other Bodoni interpretations.

Designed by: Francesco Griffo The Bembo design is an old-style humanist serif typeface originally cut by Francesco Griffo in 1495 and revived by Stanley Morison in 1929. The original Morison typeface contained only four weights and no italics. The typeface was first used in a book entitled De Aetna, a short text about a journey to Mount Aetna written by a 16th Century Italian Cardinal Pietro Bembo. This is where Bembos’ name came from. Bembos’ timeless classical characters make it suitable for almost any application.

C Clarendon

Designed by: Robert Besley

Robert Besley designed Clarendon in 1845, for Thorowgood and Co. of London, a letter foundry often known as the Fann Street Foundry. It was inspired by the typeface Antique, one of the original slab serifs. Clarendon is also a slab serif in the category known as Ionic or Egyptian. Clarendon quickly became one of the most popular typefaces of its time period and to the point where today we associate it with turn of the century England and in the U.S., the old west.

Franklin Gothic

Designed by: Morris Fuller Benton Franklin Gothic was designed by Morris Fuller Benton between 1903 and 1912 for the American Type Founders Company. The typeface was so popular Vic Caruso updated it for ITC in 1979. This new version included more weights and became the standard choice for newspapers and advertising. Franklin Gothic can be distinguished from other sans serif typefaces by its extra bold weight with a combination of subtle irregularities. Other characteristics of this typeface consist of organic features that distinguish it from the geometric typefaces.

FF Frutiger

Designed by: Adrian Frutiger

Frutiger is a sans-serif typeface designed by the Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger. It was commissioned in 1968 by the Charles De Gaulle International Airport at Roissy, France, for their new directional sign system. The Frutiger typeface which was originally called Roissy, wasnt completed until 1975, it was then installed at the airport that same year. Frutiger’s goal was to create a sans serif typeface with the cleanliness of Univers, but with the organic and proportional aspects of Gill Sans.

Renner

German type designer Paul Renner first created Futura between 1924 and 1926 using the Bauhaus design philosophy. While designing Futura, Renner used basic geometric proportions with no serifs or frills. The font family was expanded by designers other than Renner to over twenty different faces of varying weights and widths. Originally, Futura was intended to be used for body text for books, but in the 1950’s and 1960’s it was commonly used in headlines and subheads in advertising. Since it’s creation almost 90 years ago, Futura has been continuously used by brands such as Volkswagen, Ikea and Absolut Vodka.

Frank Hinman Pierpont released a realist sans-serif typeface out of the Monotype foundry in 1926 called Grotesque. This was the basis for the design of the typeface Arial. The Grotesque design was originally based upon the sans-serif design of the H Berthold AG foundry and William Thorogood‘s original “Grotesque” typeface. Monotype Grotesque was one of the earliest sans-serif typefaces to be cut for hotmetal machine typesetting and so it became a favorite for a number of typesetters and page designers.

New Basker ville

N

Designed by: John Basker ville Baskerville is a serif typeface designed in 1757 by writing master John Baskerville (1706–1775) in Birmingham, England and was cut by John Handy. Baskerville is classified as a transitional typeface, intended as a refinement of what are now called old-style typefaces of the period. Baskerville’s typeface was the culmination of a large series of experiments. Baskerville sought to develop new and higherquality methods of printing, developing also finely pressed, smooth paper and a high quality of ink. His background as a writing master is evident in the distinctive swash tail on the uppercase Q and in the cursive serifs in his italic.

News Gothic

Designed by: Morris Fuller Benton News Gothic is a realist sans-serif typeface designed by Morris Fuller Benton, and was released by the American Type Founders in 1908. News Gothic follows the grotesque typeface style. The use of the term “Gothic� is an early twentieth century name for sansserifs, found mostly in the United States and Canada. This typeface differs from other realist sans-serifs in its organic shapes and subtle transitions of stroke width. For much of the twentieth century News Gothic was used in newspaper and magazine publishing.

P Palatino

Designed by: Hermann Zapf

Designed in 1950, Palatino was first released in lead type form by the German type foundry D. Stempel AG in Frankfurt, and quickly became one of the world´s most popular typefaces. Hermann Zapf’s Palatino typeface was inspired after the Roman calligrapher master of the 16th century Giovanbattista Palatino. Many of the characteristics of the Palatino typefaces, such as its open counter forms and overall legibility, are certainly themes that had previously inspired Renaissance lettering. The Palatino typefaces’ classical proportions place it within the great heritage of Roman types, yet it has a specific old style serif design of its own.

Aicher

Otl Aicher one of the leading German graphic designers developed the typeface Rotis in 1988. He named the typeface after the town he lived in, Rotis Ăźber Leutkirch, Germany. With Rotis, Otl Aicher strived to create maximum legibilty with a high x-height. Frustrated with many typographers who were determined to draw a clearly defined line between serif and sans serif typefaces Aicher designed different variations for Rotis, the four font families are serif, semi-serif, semi-sans, and sans. Rotis was the first typeface to have serif and sans serif versions.

Tschichold

Jan Tschichold’s Sabon was originally released in three formats: in 1964 as foundry type by the Stempel and in 1966 as hot-metal type for both the Monotype and Linotype casting machines. It was inspired by an earlier Claude Garamond typeface Tschichold had seen on a 1592 specimen sheet printed by the Egenolff-Berner foundry. The Sabon design was initially created as the response to a request by a German type foundry for a face with equal spacing in the Roman and Italic versions, which would therefore create less of a workload when it came to typesetting.

Univers

Adrian Frutiger designed Univers, which was released in 1957 by the Deberny & Peignot foundry in Paris. Univers is a sans-serif neo-grotesque typeface based on the 1896 Swiss style typeface Akzidenz-Grotesk. With the release of Univers, Frutiger began using numbers rather than names to designate variations of weight, width, and slope. The full Univers family consists of 44 faces, with 16 uniquely numbered weight, width, and position combinations. Univers’ legibility lends itself to a large variety of applications, from text and headlines to packaging and signage.
