When Matthew Carter and Jesse Ragan designed Roster, they took the visual tension of squared corners within rounded shapes to an extreme. Its outer shapes are large, curved rectangles; the inner shapes have the chisel-cut clarity of counters carved out of the letterforms. The effect, subtly seen in a text face, is a dramatic slab serif display family. It can be used in smaller sizes, but the real flex is to go big. Carter & Cone’s Roster comprises 60 styles — 6 weights, 5 widths, plus Italics.

Carter & Cone has designed some of the world’s most celebrated typefaces and award-winning custom fonts. Elegant, balanced, useful: these words describe the fonts produced by Matthew Carter and Cherie Cone’s partnership. While their early work forms the bedrock of modern typography, their newer typefaces continue to enrich and expand it. The consistency and thoroughness of their designs are a direct result of their early training in industries without an undo, like punchcutting and calligraphy.
