About Big Moore Font Family


A 1766 specimen by Isaac Moore, former manager of Joseph Fry’s foundry in Bristol, England, shows many types inspired by John Baskerville’s. But a century later, standardization had foisted inept lining figures and shortened descenders upon these designs. Matthew Carter remedies the tragedy with Big Moore, restoring oldstyle figures, full-length descenders, and historic swashes to this regal serif in two styles.

About Carter & Cone

Carter & Cone has designed some of the world’s most celebrated typefaces and award-winning custom fonts. Elegant, balanced, useful: these words describe the fonts produced by Matthew Carter and Cherie Cone’s partnership. While their early work forms the bedrock of modern typography, their newer typefaces continue to enrich and expand it. The consistency and thoroughness of their designs are a direct result of their early training in industries without an undo, like punchcutting and calligraphy.
