Matthew Carter

"Carter's life has the contours of a manifest destiny toward typography. His father, Harry Carter, was a respected typographer and authority on the history of type-founding and punch cutting techniques... Carter's typographic achievements over the last five years have proven the wisdom of his move into smaller quarters: some of his finest works—the fonts Elephant, Mantinia, Sophia, Big Caslon, Alisal and Walker."
