ABOUT







Douglas Crawford McMurtrie

American designer (1888-1944) credited with these typefaces:

  • UltraModern (1928, Ludlow; with Aaron Borad and Leslie Sprunger). This sans has slightly concave strokes. Spiece Graphics (Jim Spiece) created Ultramodern Classic SG (1996), based on the 1928 design of McMurtrie. At MyFonts, one can buy a Red Rooster version of Ultra Modern digitized by Steve Jackaman.
  • McMurtrie Title (Conde Nast Press): shaded capitals with thin flat serifs. The typeface is based on Rosart.
  • A version of Garamond (1929, Ludlow), designed with Robert Hunter Middleton. There is also a Font Bureau version of Garamond, FB Garamond (Text, Display), digitized in 1992 by Jill Pichotta, based on the original design in 1929 at Ludlow by McMurtrie and Robert Hunter Middleton.
