But to label Verdana a humanist face is to ignore the fact that this family isn't merely a revival of classical elegance this is type designed for the medium of screen.
The Verdana family resembles humanist sans serifs such as Frutiger, and Edward Johnston's typeface for the London Underground, and Carter himself claims to see the influence of his own Bell Centennial in the face. Designed by world renowned type designer Matthew Carter, and hand-hinted by leading hinting expert, Agfa Monotype's Tom Rickner, these sans serif fonts are unique examples of type design for the computer screen. The Verdana typeface family consists of four TrueType fonts created specifically to address the challenges of on-screen display.
