A 1993 Type Market sans-serif by Alexander Kustov, closely modelled on Roger Excoffon's Antique Olive, available in Book and Bold weights with matching italics.
About
Oliver draws directly from the Antique Olive lineage – Excoffon's idiosyncratic 1960s French grotesque, characterised by a large x-height, compact ascenders and rounded, open forms. The specimen confirms those traits: generous counters, even spacing and a restrained stroke contrast suited to text setting. Four styles cover Book and Bold, each with an italic.
Classification
The specimen shows a sans-serif with open, rounded letterforms, moderate stroke contrast and a large x-height, consistent with the Antique Olive tradition – a humanist-leaning grotesque distinct from geometric or neo-grotesque models.
