John Matt John Matt (1939-1989) graduated from the Pratt Institute and worked at ATF, Mergenthaler, Compugraphic and RCA before heading the typeface program at Information International Inc. He designed Matt Antique in the mid 1960s. MyFonts: The typeface did not see use until Compugraphic copied a set of the sketches in the late seventies, naming the result Garth Graphic in honor of Bill Garth, late president and founder. Garth Graphic is now available at Agfa/Monotype in many styles---Monotype lists the date 1979 and credits John Matt, Constance Blanchard and Renée LeWinter. At Bitstream, it is available as Matt Antique (1980). FontShop link. Linotype link.
