MILTON GLASER

Milton Glaser – born26. 6. 1929 in New York, USA -

Leading American graphic designer, Illustrator, teacher, working with Seymour Chwast at Push Pin Studios in New York, president from its founding in 1954 until he left in 1970. He founded Milton Glaser Inc. in 1974, also in New York.

Fonts ; Babyfat, Babycurls, Baby teeth, Houdini, Glaser Stencil.

Baby Fat, designed by Milton Glaser in 1964, saw a lot of action during the psychedelic poster phase. This little dumpling is based on that workhorse, and takes its name from a phrase that also got around a lot in the 60s.

The PC PostScript, TrueType and OpenType versions contain the complete Latin language character set (Unicode 1252) plus support for Central European (Unicode 1250) languages as well.

 

The renowned American illustrator and graphic designer Milton Glaser designed Glaser Stencil in 1970. Glaser Stencil is a perfect summation of both Modernist proportion and New York-style solidity and self-assurance. An all capitals font, the shapes of the letters are reminiscent of popular sans serif faces of the time, such as Futura and ITC Avant Garde Gothic. Like everything New York-related, Glaser Stencil should be used big, in headlines and display applications, where it can play a bold, proud, and confident role.
