Mallorytype

Mallorytype is a typeface designed by Matthew Carter in 1982. It is a sans-serif typeface that was created for the British Post Office as a replacement for the existing typeface, which was considered outdated and difficult to read. Mallorytype was designed to be highly legible and easy to read, even at small sizes, making it an ideal choice for use in signage and other applications where readability is crucial.

The typeface is characterized by its clean, modern design and its use of a consistent stroke width throughout. It features a simple, geometric structure, with no serifs or other decorative elements. This simplicity makes it highly versatile and adaptable to a wide range of uses, from headlines and display text to body copy and small print.

Mallorytype is available in a range of weights and widths, allowing it to be used in a variety of contexts and applications. It is also available in a number of different styles, including italic and condensed versions, further expanding its versatility.

Despite its age, Mallorytype remains a popular choice for many designers and typographers today. Its timeless design and high legibility make it a valuable addition to any typeface collection, and it continues to be used in a wide range of applications, from advertising and branding to publishing and web design.
