Type is Beautiful

A new typeface was just released by Matthew Carter (very famous in the type-loving realm) that is just gorgeous. It combines the readability and simplicity of a sans serif with the elegant and chiseled feel of a more traditional serif font. I wouldn't consider it exactly sans serif as it flares slightly at the ends, but that's just a formality.

The bottom line is that it creates a beautiful marriage between the straightforward sans serif fonts that dominate basically everything in our everyday life and the older serifs that can seem a bit stuffy for our web-based society. With Carter Sans, as it will be called, we can get a bit of both. Something classy, something basic. Check it out at the link below
