Skia CC is a humanist sans serif initially designed by Matthew Carter for Apple Computer in 1994. It was the first of the QuickDraw GX fonts and the first single font to offer variations in design. The letterforms take inspiration from 1st-century Greek stone carvings. The family has a flexible range of use because of its open counters, large x-height, and distinctly angled terminals. The Type Founders updated and re-engineered the original data and it is now available in 5 widths and 5 weights or as a single variable font.
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.
