ABOUT

Miko McGinty

Designer who as a student of Tobias Frere-Jones at Yale revived sans designs by William Caslon IV, whose matrices from 1816 were found in the archives of Stephenson Blake. In particular, he revived Caslon's Egyptian (1816), William Caslon IV's set of sans serif capitals. In 1998, Cyrus Highsmith (Font Bureau) refined Miko's version, giving it a more complete character set for Red Herring magazine, 1996-1998. Furter refinements and extensions were done in 2001 by Christian Schwartz in his Caslon's Egyptian.
