ABOUT

ITC

International Typeface Corporation, located at 228 East 45th Street / 12th Floor, New York, NY 10017. Established in 1970 by Aaron Burns, Herb Lubalin and Ed Rondthaler. From their page: One of the world's most prolific and respected type foundries, ITC has developed and released more than 800 typeface designs from designers such as Sumner Stone, Matthew Carter, Kris Holmes, Ed Benguiat, Hermann Zapf, Erik Spiekermann, David Berlow, and Herb Lubalin. From the ad for their web site: This new and improved site allows you to preview, compare and purchase typefaces from ITC's venerable typeface library, which now includes the Fontek collection of display typefaces. There are currently more than 600 typefaces available online, and we will be adding more typefaces each month.

They also published the magazine U&lc online, an online companion to ITC's printed publication, Upper and Lower Case. ITC's site was run by Tom Dunbar.

ITC is mainly known for display type and for type families with large x-height, in vogue in the 1970s and early 1980s. On March 2, 2000, Agfa-Monotype acquired ITC for an undisclosed sum from Esselte. Some time later, Agfa-Monotype became Monotype.
