Skia CC
Carter & Cone · Matthew Carter · 1994
Matthew Carter's 1994 humanist sans-serif for Apple, re-engineered by Carter & Cone into a 30-style superfamily spanning six widths and five weights, plus a variable font.
About
Originally created as one of Apple's first QuickDraw GX variable fonts, Skia CC draws its letterforms from 1st-century Greek stone carvings, giving the face a classical yet functional character. Open counters and a large x-height make it versatile across a broad range of sizes and settings. Carter & Cone have updated the original data and expanded it into six widths from Compressed to Extended, each available in five weights from Thin to Black.
Classification
Humanist sans-serif with open counters, a large x-height and distinctly angled terminals inspired by 1st-century Greek stone carvings. The letterforms display the organic warmth typical of humanist sans designs rather than geometric or grotesque construction.
