Matthew Carter is among the preeminent type designers of the 20th century, an artist whose work has helped shape the familiar graphic looks of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated as well as The Boston Globe, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Washington Post. Carter’s 40-year career spans a technological revolution in type design, from the days of hot metal foundries and linotype assemblers to the introduction of commercial phototype in the 1960s and the modern era of desktop publishing.
