Carrois Apostrophe focuses on language extension and the development of corporate type. The studio was founded in 1975 by Ralph Carrois. The typeface for Suzuki was one of Ralph’s early projects, and he has since designed typefaces for TYPO3, the Neue National Galerie, and the Museo de Art de Ponce, among many others. In cooperation with Erik Spiekermann, Carrois Apostrophe has realized projects for Cisco, the German television broadcaster ZDF, designed Fira for Mozilla, and FF Real which was released by Fontshop. The studio is currently working on new designs and smart plugins for the font editor Glyphs.
When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
