字体介绍

George Ryan的ITC Migrate是一款极其细窄的无衬线显示字体，可以有效地补充ITC Adderville。 Migrate代表了Ryan在1991年为Bitstream设计的名为Oz Handicraft的一款字体的“更高级的版本”。“这两款字体，”Ryan说，“都是基于20世纪早期著名的字体设计师Oswald Cooper的设计。”他的灵感来自于由芝加哥Society of Typographic Arts于1949年出版的《Book of Oz Cooper》中的图纸样本。“早在无衬线格式在美国流行之前，Oz就广泛使用它了，避开了当时人们普遍认为无衬线只是字母的骨架的观点。”Oz Handicraft是不正式且古怪的，而ITC则比较拘谨。 “尤其是大写字符和数字已经过了重新设计，”Ryan说，“形成了更正式、更传统的缩窄的无衬线字体。”

George Ryan's ITC Migrate is a highly condensed sans serif display face that effectively complements ITC Adderville. Migrate represents what Ryan calls a “more highly evolved version” of a typeface he designed for Bitstream in 1991 called Oz Handicraft. “Both faces,“ says Ryan, “are based on designs of the popular early 20th-century type designer Oswald Cooper.” His inspiration came from drawing samples found in the Book of Oz Cooper, published in 1949 by the Society of Typographic Arts in Chicago. “Oz worked extensively with the sans serif form long before it became popular in the States, eschewing a popular belief of the time that sans serifs were only skeletons of letters.” Where Oz Handicraft was informal and quirky, ITC Migrate has a more restrained feel. “The uppercase characters and figures, in particular, have been reworked,” says Ryan, ”resulting in a more formal and traditional, compressed sans serif typeface.”
