Carter has designed typefaces for the New York Times, Time,
I met Carter, a 68-year-old Brit who has movie star looks and wears his gray hair in a pony tail, earlier today when he came into the special collections library where I toil for a tour and to see some of our own marvelous books and manuscripts related to typography. These include the papers of Frederic W. Goudy, who designed the classic Goudy typeface, and the archives of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, whose massive linotype machines were the typesetting standard in thousands of pressrooms before the advent of offset printing.
