Carl Dair

Renowned Canadian type designer and designer (b. Welland, Ontario, 1912, d. 1968). His typefaces:

  • Raleigh, published by Bitstream (1977), codesigned with Robert Norton, David Anderson, and Adrian Williams.
  • The garalde typeface Cartier (1967, VGC), designed as a gift to Canada on the occasion of its centennial. Cartier was unfinished when he died. Rod McDonald finished it, to become a working typeface family in 2000.

Author of Design with Type (1952, revised and expanded in 1967). John Berry discusses Dair's seven different kinds of contrast, size, weight, form, structure, texture, color and direction.
