Georgia,: Date created1993Date released1996Georgia is a designed in 1993 by and by for the. It was intended as a serif typeface that would appear elegant but legible printed small or on low-resolution screens. The typeface is inspired by designs of the 19th century and was based on designs for a print typeface in the same style Carter was working on when contacted by Microsoft; this would be released under the name the following year. The typeface's name referred to a headline 'Alien heads found in '.

Contents.Design As a transitional serif design, Georgia shows a number of traditional features of 'rational' serif typefaces from around the early 19th century, such as alternating thick and thin strokes, and a vertical axis. Speaking in 2013 about the development of Georgia and Miller, Carter said: 'I was familiar with Scotch romans, puzzled by the fact that they were once so popular. And then they disappeared completely.' Its figure (numeral) designs are lower-case, or, designed to blend into continuous text; this was at the time a rare feature in computer fonts.Closer inspection, however, shows how Georgia was designed for clarity on a computer monitor even at small sizes. It features a large (tall lower-case letters), and its thin strokes are thicker than would be common on a typeface designed for display use or the greater sharpness possible in print.

But font linking cannot do 100 percent of the job. There are many languages (such as Armenian, Sylfaen, Georgian, and Hindi) about which Windows has no.

Its reduced contrast and thickened serifs make it somewhat resemble designs from the 19th century.Georgia's bold is also unusually bold, almost black. Carter noted that ' and Georgia. Were all about binary: every pixel was on or off, black or white.

The bold versions of Verdana and Georgia are bolder than most bolds, because on the screen, at the time we were doing this in the mid-1990s, if the stem wanted to be thicker than one pixel, it could only go to two pixels. That is a bigger jump in weight than is conventional in print series.' Given these unusual design decisions, an expert on document design, recommended that organizations using Georgia for onscreen display license Miller to achieve a complementary, more balanced reading experience on paper.The Georgia typeface is similar to, another re-imagination of transitional serif designs, but as a design for screen display it has a larger x-height and fewer fine details. Changed its standard font from Times New Roman to Georgia in 2007.Georgia is a 'Scotch Roman', a style that originated in types sold by Scottish type foundries of Alexander Wilson and William Miller in the period of 1810–1820. According to, these were cut by London-based. Hansard was writing within Austin's lifetime, and this attribution is accepted by Austin's biographer Alastair Johnston, although historian has expressed caution on the attribution.

Releases. Georgia's uses a single-story 'g'.Microsoft publicly released the initial version of the font on 1 November 1996, as part of the collection, and later bundled it with the 4.0 supplemental font pack: these releases made it available for installation on both Windows and Macintosh computers. This made it a popular choice for web designers, as pages specifying Georgia as a font choice would display identically on both types if users installed the core fonts package (or later Internet Explorer), simplifying development and testing. Its creators also produced at the same time, the first Microsoft sans serif screen font, for the same purposes. Some early public releases of Georgia included number designs between upper and lower-case, similar to those later released with Miller. Carter was asked by, Microsoft's type director, to change these to text, a decision Carter later considered an improvement.New versions of Georgia, along with its sister sans-serif font, were released in 2013. The extension of the original font, named Georgia Pro, features a set of additional typefaces and designs, including:.

Additional weights, including condensed versions. Specialized designs. Extensions to the character sets.

Extensions to the. typographic features such as. Lining figures.The expanded font was designed for organisations that had made extensive use of Georgia and Verdana due to its availability but desired additional versions for specific uses.Microsoft has commissioned a number of variants. Georgia Ref, a variant of Georgia consisting of a single weight, but with extra characters, was bundled with 2000, Encyclopedia Deluxe 99, Encarta Virtual Globe 99.

MS Reference Serif, a derivative of Georgia Ref with a bold weight and italic, was also included in. However, Microsoft's font manager Bill Hill wrote of it that 'I for one never felt totally comfortable with it as a book face. There's something very dark and 'vertical' about the way it feels', and noted that Microsoft had commissioned an alternative, versions of the pre-existing typefaces Berling and, for its product. Despite this, Georgia is used as one of the bundled book-reading fonts on several e-book applications.
