About this Item

In order to take over the world, one needs to have types to set languages from all over the world. In 2003, type needed to look good on monitors. So, Microsoft brought together a team in Redmond, Washington, to brainstorm and to learn about ClearType, fonts conceived from the outset as a marriage of technology and the best in design expertise to improve the appearance of text on certain types of monitors through the use of subpixel rendering technology. (Don't get us started on subpixel rendering tech, bro. Do. Not. Get. Us. Started.) A new set of typefaces was designed specifically to work with ClearType, and they were released in 2007 as part of the Windows offering of that year. Maybe you've heard of or used Constantia, Corbel, Calibri, Cambria, Candara,Consolas, or Meiryo? This is their story. 408.
