Font Designer – Carl Dair
Carl Dair (born 1912 in Welland, Ontario, died 28. 9. 1967 in Toronto) created CG Cartier™ in 1969. The font was released by Compugraphic (CG) for the Montreal Trade Fair in the same year.
CG Cartier has good balance with an unusual angularity to its counters. The curved characters of the CG Cartier font family show similarities to linocut letters; instead of one smooth flowing stroke, the curves are drawn in two stages. CG Cartier Italic also has a punchy angularity.
CG Cartier Book Font Family is part of the Monotype Library OpenType Edition.
