Archer triptych

Jonathan Hoefler

When Martha Stewart Living asked us to develop a new typeface for the magazine, it seemed that a slab serif could answer much of the brief. A slab could be personable, straightforward, and credible, though it would take special effort to also make it pretty, hard-working, and frank. The result is a typeface that’s well-mannered, easy to work with, and inviting to read.

It all begins with an font. In this project, I created a triptych poster series exploring the typeface Archer by Jonathan Hoefler. Sweet, but saccharine.
