Fonts

Milton Glaser is a well-known graphic designer, typographer, and font designer, and has design a number of fonts, that include Babyfat, Babycurls, Baby Teeth, and Houdini, but his most known font is the Glaser stencil. 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.
