ITC Century
ITC Century Book
Introduced in this issue of U&lc are several
new additions to three well-known type families
- Century, Cheltenham, and Garamond.
These new styles were created to blend and
intermix with other weights of these type
families that are currently offered on most
phototypesetting machines sold by ITC Sub-
scribers.
There has long been a shortage of ultra
weight typefaces in the text type size ranges.
To help fill this void, ITC originally decided
to create only the three ultra weight versions
for the typefaces shown on these pages. The
instructions to Tony Stan, who rendered all
three typeface styles, were "to create ultra
bold versions with shortened ascenders to
permit enlargements of the 'x' heights for
the lowercase characters'.'
After the drawings for the three ultra
weights were completed, in both the roman
and italic versions, it soon became apparent
that an intermediate "book" weight, with the
same matching lowercase "x" heights, compatible
with the ultra styles, would also be
highly useful, and these additional weights
were created for each family. They are all
shown for the first time here in U&lc. All 12
typefaces will be available on or before September
15, 1975.
