Matthew Carter

Tonight I saw Matthew Carter, 'the most important typographer of our time', talk at the Royal Society if Arts in London. It was great to see and hear such a master of typography in a very nice venue.




I've set the font in this post to Verdana as he designed it. Do you think it works nicely on screen?

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
1234567890;,./?"{}()*&^%$£@!
