The most generic typeface in the world.

Regular 30pt/34pt

Myriad Pro was born to typeface designers Robert Slimbach & Carol Twombly designed in 1992. Their goal was to create a new sans-serif for Adobe, something very generic. The typeface was jokingly called Generica during the design process. It was unique and groundbreaking in that it gave users the flexibility to generate custom font variations based on design variables (or ‘axis’) like weight, width, optical size, and style.
