ABOUT MATTHEW'S WORK
Matthew Carter is a master type designer who crafts letterforms of unequaled elegance and precision for a seemingly limitless range of applications and media. Throughout his career, which spans the migration of text from the printed page to the computer screen, he has pursued typographic solutions for the rapidly changing landscape of text-based communications. He has cut metal letterforms by hand in the manner invented over four centuries ago, created enduring works for machine- and phototypesetting, and produced many of the world’s most widely used digital fonts. To date, Carter has designed over 60 typeface families and over 250 individual fonts reflecting a staggering variety of styles, including revivals of classic type as well as eccentric, expressive, and experimental forms. In settings both specialized and everyday—from art museums to newspapers, works of classical scholarship to websites—his typefaces are read wherever the Latin alphabet is in use and are also employed extensively in languages based in Greek and Cyrillic alphabets. His recent work has focused on developing highly legible fonts for computer screens, including the small screens of low-resolution, handheld devices. While bringing a deep knowledge of the history of his art form to bear on each new project, Carter continues to respond to a stream of new developments in communication technology with a thoroughly modern sensibility.

关于马修的作品
马修-卡特是一位字体设计大师,他制作的字体具有无与伦比的优雅和精确性,适用于似乎无限的应用和媒体。在他的职业生涯中,文字从印刷品到电脑屏幕的迁移,他一直在为快速变化的基于文字的通信领域寻求字体解决方案。他以四个多世纪前发明的方式手工切割金属字形,为机器和照相排版创造了持久的作品,并制作了许多世界上最广泛使用的数字字体。迄今为止,卡特已经设计了60多个字体系列和250多个单独的字体,反映了惊人的各种风格,包括经典字体的复兴,以及古怪的、富有表现力的和实验性的形式。从艺术博物馆到报纸,从古典学术作品到网站,他的字体在任何使用拉丁字母的地方都能被阅读,而且还被广泛用于基于希腊和西里尔字母的语言。他最近的工作重点是为计算机屏幕开发高可读性的字体,包括低分辨率的手持设备的小屏幕。卡特在每一个新项目中都带着对其艺术形式历史的深刻认识,同时继续以彻底的现代感来回应通信技术的新发展。
