Matthew Carter, a typographer whose work is marked by a combination of expression and restraint, was one of four cofounders of Bitstream, a digital type foundry based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Bitstream was among the first of the independent font foundries. More than a decade later, Carter and Cherie Cone (also one of the Bitstream founders) left to start a smaller company called Carter Cone Type. Here Carter produced some of his finest works: the fonts Elephant, Mantinia, Sophia, Big Caslon, Alisal and Walker. In 1995, he was honored with an AIGA Medal.
