Harris-Intertype
Harris inherited the Harris-Intertype library, made up of the typefaces cut by Intertype to compete with Mergenthaler from WWI onwards. They had a small group of original newspaper and script typefaces. In the 1930s, C.H. Griffith at Mergenthaler believed the linecaster to be unsuitable for the development of scripts, which led Ed Shaar at Intertype to put his stakes up in this market. Intertype became Harris-Intertype ca. 1960, and Harris ca. 1975. Based in Melbourne, FL, Harris is a small foundry established in 1975, with four fonts: Imperial (note: The New York Times uses Imperial for its text, but it is based on in-house scans of the old metal Imperial, not on the digital versions from Intertype or Linotype), Monterey (1958, billed as Intertype's reaction to ATF's Murray Hill), Nuptial and Nuptial Script. The first three are available from Bitstream. The open outline typeface Stuyvesant (Bitstream) is also said to be an Intertype font originally, dated 1940. |
