Description

Center Street Studio is pleased to announce the publication of a print portfolio by the type designer Matthew Carter. The portfolio contains the 26 letters of the alphabet, all lowercase, etched into copper plates with aquatint. They were printed and published at Center Street Studio by master printer James Stroud. The 26 letters are Carter’s own favorites from typefaces designed by him in a wide variety of styles, both historically-derived and contemporary. Some are from existing typefaces, some from type designs still in work. Matthew Carter has been working with type since leaving school over 60 years ago. Among his most familiar designs are the screen fonts Verdana and Georgia. Seven of his typefaces are in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He was made a MacArthur Foundation Fellow in 2010.
