An exclusive interview with the legendary Matthew Carter, the man who designed two of the world's most ubiquitous fonts, on updating his classic works for a new era.
An article by Suzanne Labarre. Well worth a read for digital typography enthusiasts (and if you work on the web that should be you!).
Verdana Pro and Georgia Pro are being marketed as a way to make the typefaces more appealing to both print and web designers. Each includes additional character sets and 20 weights...
That's a lot of variety!
No mention of licensing terms in the article, but the new versions are available through Web Fonts by fonts.com. Obviously multiple font weights take up a lot of bandwidth so the options are not particularly useful for websites, unlike the previous 1990's versions that are preinstalled on 99% of visiting computers. But if you want a design style that captures the magic of the early web, you can't go wrong here!
