About this font family

Olympian was designed in 1970 by Matthew Carter for Mergenthaler Linotype.

One of the last types cut for metal composition, and designed for photocomposition at the same time, Olympian was designed specifically for newspaper work and all of its attendant problems. It is unusual for a newspaper face in that it has quite a few old style characteristics, which gives it softer lines and broadens its versatility.
