Centaur Fonts > Centaur Fonts Family (5 fonts)
Centaur™ Fonts Family were designed by Bruce Rogers, one of the giants of the United States typographic community, in 1914 for the Metropolitan Museum to use for titles. Subsequently, various people reworked Centaur fonts into a text face. Centaur Fonts Family cannot be disguised that, in the opinion of the writer, each version has lost some of the vigor of the version that preceded it. Centaur Fonts Family is what is known as a Venetian face, characterized by oblique stress, minimal contrast between thick and thin strokes, the slanted bar in the e, and heavy serifs. You can stick with it for titles, but Centaur Fonts Family remains legible in much smaller sizes than anybody ever dreamed of. At small sizes, Centaur Fonts Family is like any Venetian face in that you won't be able to tell that it is Centaur. Centaur Fonts Character Set: Latin-1
