Yale (typeface)
Yale is an old style serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter and first released in 2004. It was commissioned by Yale University for use in all of its signage, promotional and internal material.
In 2010, Yale was named one of the "Ten Typefaces of the Decade" by ''Print'' magazine. It is influenced by Bembo, a popular book typeface by Monotype, and is also similar to Carter's previous ITC Galliard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.yale.edu/printer/typeface/history.html )〕
==Design==
Carter, who has taught at the Yale School of Art since 1976, currently holding the rank of Senior Critic,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Matthew Carter, Type Designer )〕 was asked to design a universal typeface for Yale University by John Gambell, the University Printer Yale was first designed for signage on all Yale University buildings. Carter's first priority was therefore readability, as well as a balance between dignity and uniqueness. Carter has said that this was the first time in designing a typeface that he focused more on capital than lowercase letters, since he knew that on the building signs the lettering would be in capitals.〔 Carter describes:
The signs, whether free-standing or attached to walls, reminded me of inscriptions, and this led me to think about the inscriptional origins of Roman caps and the everlasting problem of reconciling capitals with lowercase. For me, the moment when the first true synthesis occurred was in the type of ''De Aetna''. This led me in turn to the Beinecke Library to pore over their copy of the book and its type—the archetype of Roman type for me.〔
The late 15th century ''De Aetna'' typeface, cut by Francesco Griffo for Aldus Manutius, served as a basis for Yale, with elements of one of Carter's earlier typefaces, Galliard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Introducing the Yale Typeface: The History )〕 Some of Yale's unique characteristics are its curved leg of the "h", its flat-topped "A", its open apertures of the "c" and "e", and the bent tops of its lowercase ascenders.
