ITC Charter follows traditional 18th century Roman types in proportion and form, but with some very untraditional traits of its own. Among its classic characteristics are the relatively narrow capitals, which are similar in proportion to late oldstyle designs. The serif structure and the engraver's forms derive from types cut by P.S. Fournier in Paris in the 1740s. The serifs, however, are square in form, and not as delicate as those found in Fournier's designs. The lowercase ball-terminals have a straight trailing edge and the lowercase italic proportions are almost as wide as in the roman. Also, the contrast in stroke weights is less severe than Fournier's. ITC Charter was designed to be a highly legible text face for use on both laser writers and high-resolution imagesetters. ITC Charter's designer, Matthew Carter, has been involved in type design since the age of 19, when he studied punchcutting with P.H. Radisch at the Enscheda Type Foundry. After a long association with Linotype, he cofounded Bitstream in 1981, and is currently a partner in Carter and Cone Type, an independent type foundry. ITC Charter is available in roman, bold and black weights with corresponding italics.
