About ITC Motter Corpus Volume
Designed by Othmar Motter, ITC Motter Corpus was created to combine the display advantages of a sans serif extra bold design with the legibility of a roman type. Almost a sans serif design-but not quite, ITC Motter Corpus has diminutive serifs that, along with its modulated weight contrasts, make the face remarkably readable for a display design. Counters have been kept open to allow for surprisingly small sizes to be set with little loss of legibility. Although the serifs are small, they received special attention from the designer. Diagonal strokes in letters like the A, V, W, Y, etc. were also designed convexed to decrease the white space between them and straight or round sided characters. From similar reasons, round letters were drawn with slightly flat sides. The end result is a design that spaces with remarkable consistency - even when set in all-caps. ITC Motter Corpus is an extra bold design in normal and condensed variants. |
