Hinweis des Autors

Arachnid, designed by Stanley Morison and Victor Lardent of Monotype Typography, is a free high-contrast serif with a formal, traditional bearing. Its broad rounded letters combine fine hairlines with sturdy vertical strokes and crisp bracketed serifs. The compact proportions give the text a controlled and authoritative tone.

In publishing, this measured structure suits newspaper features, book jackets, and literary magazines, especially when an established editorial voice is wanted. Its serious manner also fits museum programs and historical exhibitions.

Monotype Type Drawing Office - Stanley Morison, Victor Lardent 1932
Beschreibung
This remarkable typeface first appeared in 1932 in The Times of London newspaper, for which it was designed. It has subsequently become one of the worlds most successful type creations. The original drawings were made under Stanley Morison's direction by Victor Lardent at The Times. It then went through an extensive iterative process involving further work in Monotype's Type Drawing Office. Based on experiments Morison had conducted using Perpetua and Plantin, it has many old style characteristics but was adapted to give excellent legibility coupled with good economy. Widely used in books and magazines, for reports, office documents and also for display and advertising.
