Myriad

About "Myriad"

Released in 1992 as an Adobe Originals design, Myriad has gained popularity for both text and display applications.

The OpenType release, Myriad Pro, expands the sans-serif family by incorporating Greek and Cyrillic characters, introducing oldstyle figures, and enhancing support for Latin-based languages.

The complete Myriad Pro family encompasses condensed, normal, and extended widths across a full spectrum of weights.

Designed by Robert Slimbach, Carol Twombly, Fred Brady, and Christopher Slye, Myriad combines warmth and readability through humanistic letter proportions and detailed design elements.

Myriad Pro stands out with its clean, open shapes, precise letter spacing, and extensive kerning pairs, making it a unified family suitable for comfortable text typography.

Additionally, the wide array of weights and widths in this family provides a versatile creative toolkit for demanding display typography.

The design of Myriad is patent-pending.

Original Adobe Foundry

John Warnock and Chuck Geschke founded Adobe Systems in San Jose, California in 1982. The company turned into a billion-dollar business in 1999, thanks to its wide range of applications for images and text handling, as well as a high-quality type library. Their rise to prominence is largely due to the PostScript graphics programming language which has been a printing industry standard since the mid-1980s. Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop have been fundamental tools in the graphic design industry for many years. Adobe also introduced the PDF format for document exchange, another standard in the industry. In 1990, Adobe Type Manager (ATM) was launched, which allowed for on-screen font rendering.
