thread_title: Deleted link to online business.

message: This font is hard to categorize - but it is certainly not glyphic/incised as indicated in the first seven years of this article's life.  I can find online references documenting/arguing that it is/is not slab-serif.  I am persuaded to classify it as a slab because 1) the serifs are square/unbracketed; 2) the ratio of the serif thickness to stroke thickness is comparable to Clarendon (which defines a Slab sub-family in some classification schemes); and 3) LaTeX font guru Michael Sharpe calls it a slab-serif http://edutex-wiki.tug.org/tug2014/slides/sharpe.pdf.  I understand why others may class it as transitional and dual-classification seems appropriate (Thanks Blythwood). Cpoakes (talk) 12:00, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your description of your reasoning! As a font designed for a specific technology, I feel it's hard to put this in any one box: Carter was constrained as to how he could create his design in ways font designers normally aren't. I think the model seems to be transitionals rather than slabs (it's a text face and Clarendon mostly isn't), but the slabs are deep enough that saying it's a slab serif makes a lot of sense to me. In any case, I think the model is 20th century 'transitional' designs like Times more than period ones like Baskerville, making it even harder! Blythwood (talk) 17:24, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
