Skia CC
Design Information
Skia CC is a humanist sans serif initially designed by Matthew Carter for Apple Computer in 1994. It was the first of the QuickDraw GX fonts and the first single font to offer variations in design. The letterforms take inspiration from 1st-century Greek stone carvings. The family has a flexible range of use because of its open counters, large x-height, and distinctly angled terminals. The Type Founders updated and re-engineered the original data and it is now available in 5 widths and 5 weights or as a single variable font.
