The Typography Of Apple – Typeface Design From 1984 To Today (Infographic)

Since the Mac’s inception typography has played a monumental role at Apple. Designing the first digital typefaces for the Mac was influenced by the analog world and later sparked a war between Adobe. The progress made at Apple in developing typefaces has formed digital typography into it what it is today. The info graphic I designed, or as I like to call it, the “typographic” below shows the Apple’s history of typography from the early 80′s to today.

    The bit on TrueType is both editorializing and generally wrong. Postscript fonts could not be displayed on-screen without Adobe’s ATM software; TrueType could be displayed on the screen and print. For this reason it _succeeded_ in the home/business desktop publishing area. The pros would use Type 1 fonts (and Type 3) for quite some time more, but everyone else was using TrueType.

    For a poster about type, that’s a pretty big hangup…
