Carter & Cone Type Inc. logotype

Carter & Cone has designed some of the world’s most celebrated typefaces and award-winning custom fonts.

Elegant, balanced, useful: these words describe the fonts Matthew Carter and Cherie Cone’s partnership has produced. While their early work forms the bedrock of modern typography, their newer typefaces continue to enrich and expand it. The consistency and thoroughness of their designs are a direct result of their early training in industries without an undo, like punchcutting and calligraphy.

A venerated designer and winner of a MacArthur Fellowship, Matthew Carter is famously approachable to students and young designers. An acclaimed calligrapher and co-founder of Bitstream, Inc., the world’s first independent digital type foundry, Cherie Cone is renowned for her uproarious storytelling.
