Jonathan Hoefler founded the Hoefler Type Foundry in 1989, when digital typography was in it’s earliest stages. While others were creating novelty fonts, Hoefler was busy perfecting the traditional. In 1991, he released Hoefler Text; a typeface “steeped in the virtues of classical typography”. Hoefler Text features extended ligature sets, old-style figures, small caps, an italic, and a number of ornaments, turning this contemporary serif into a modern classic.
