Steeped in the virtues of classical typography, Hoefler Text is a comprehensive family of typefaces from the dawn of the digital age.
The Hoefler Text typeface was designed by Jonathan Hoefler in 1991, with contributions from Eric Siry. Created for Apple Computer, it was one of the first digital typefaces to restore many of the vanished traditions once central to fine typography such as extended ligatures, small capitals, engraved initials, and arabesque borders. Not explicitly a historical revival, Hoefler Text is instead a typographic omnibus of seventeenth century styles, paying special tribute to the work of Jean Jannon (1580-1658), whose work was long misattributed to Claude Garamond, and Miklós Kis (1650-1702), the creator of the typefaces commonly ascribed to Anton Janson.
The world’s premier type design and engineering team, Monotype Studio, has more than 50 members around the world helping brands craft a unique visual voice.
