ITC Stone Serif®

In 1987, Sumner Stone completed his designs for the Stone type family. ITC Stone solves the problem of mixing different styles of type on the same page. Most combined type styles, because they aren'’t designed to work together, often have radically different characteristics such as cap heights, stem weights, and proportions.

As a large integrated family, the Stone types can be mixed successfully with each other in newsletters, business correspondence, books, and packaging. ITC Stone Sans is a modern version of the “humanistic” sans-serif subcategory. In 1992, John Renner finished designing phonetic companion faces for ITC Stone Sans and ITC Stone Serif. They contain the linguistic symbols used by the International Phonetic Association, comprising more than 300 letters and diacritical marks, both historical and official.

These typefaces are appropriate for dictionaries, language guides, linguistic texts, or wherever else spoken sounds need to be typographically represented.
