Type designer Matthew Carter has a long record of experience in type design. From metal type-cutting to photo-typography to the digital, his endurance is inspirational.
You might know his typefaces Verdana and Georgia comissioned by Microsoft. He currently works under the nameplate of Carter & Cone. Another example of his type design is the signature face for Yale University.
A good book about Carter is by Peggy Re.
