Cartier Book was created by Carl Dair, Rod McDonald and released by Monotype. Cartier Book contains 8 designs and household plan options. p > Cartier was Canada's very first roman text typeface, created in 1967 to celebrate Canada's centennial. Its designer, Carl Dair, was one of the country's most popular graphic style leaders, and a great designer undoubtedly - however he was not an experienced type designer. He had actually spent a year at the Enschedé type foundry and printing operate in the Netherlands, however that probably wasn't enough to fully grasp all that was needed to make an efficient text face. It is also possible that Dair just jeopardized his own style by not enabling any of the much needed modifications to be made to his working drawings when they were handed over to Linotype for production.

Cartier, though a strikingly original oldstyle, never became the prominent allround text admit it may have been. A screen typeface originated from it, Raleigh, was more successful.

Realizing that Dair's style was sound in idea, if not in execution, Rod McDonald began working on a brand-new digital variation in 1997. The final family is persuading evidence that Cartier could have been the functional text face that Dair originally desired.
