Myriad Web is a version of Myriad in TrueType font format, optimized for onscreen use. Myriad Headline A 'Headline' version was also released, which has the weight of Myriad Bold, but slightly narrower. The condensed fonts comprise three weights, with complementary italics. Myriad Condensed It was a condensed version, released around 1998. All these Type 1 versions supported the ISO-Adobe character set all were discontinued in the early 2000s. It initially included four fonts in two weights, with complementary italics. This PostScript Type 1 font family was released after the original Myriad MM. The concept has since been redeveloped as part of the OpenType variable fonts technology. The concept was not widely-supported by third-party applications, and so most releases of Myriad have been in the form of separate font files. The later Segoe UI and Corbel are also similar.ĭuring the 1990s, Adobe developed a release of Myriad in the multiple master format, an ambitious format intended to allow the user to fine-tune weight, width and other characteristics of the design to their preferred form. Myriad is similar to Adrian Frutiger's famous Frutiger typeface, although the italic is a true italic unlike Frutiger's oblique Frutiger described it as 'not badly done' but felt that the similarities had gone 'a little too far'. Twombly described the design process as one of swapping ideas to create a 'homogenous' design but said that in retrospect she found the experience 'too hard' to want to repeat. As a family intended for body text and influenced by traditional book printing, text figures are included as well as lining figures at cap height. The 'g' is single-storey and the 'M' has sloped sides on the model of Roman square capitals. Its letterforms are open rather than 'folded-up' on the nineteenth-century grotesque sans-serif model, and its sloped form is a 'true italic' based on handwriting. Myriad is a humanist sans-serif, a relatively informal design taking influences from handwriting. Myriad is easily distinguished from other sans-serif fonts due to its 'y' descender (tail) and slanting 'e' cut. Myriad is probably best known for its usage by Apple Inc., replacing Apple Garamond as Apple's corporate font from 2002 to around 2017. Myriad was intended as a neutral, general-purpose typeface that could fulfil a range of uses and have a form easily expandable by computer-aided design to a large range of weights and widths. Myriad is a humanistsans-seriftypeface designed by Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly for Adobe Systems.
