Grad
Grad (2004) was designed by veteran type designer Phil Martin, creator of over 400 typefaces from the late '60s through the '80s mainly for film headline setters.
Phil Martin created Grad as a redesign of the classic Century Schoolboook for his personal use in the early '90s. Phil made design changes, some subtle and some obvious. He also added new features like small caps, old style figures, ligatures, and swash capitals.
For ten years, Grad was trapped inside Phil's old DOS computer in an obsolete font format. Working from laserprints provided by Phil and specimens of the original ATF Century Schoolbook, I brought Grad into the 21st century as a family of three feature-rich OpenType fonts.
OpenType Features Supported: Small Caps, Old Style Numbers, Ligatures, Discretionary Ligatures, Swash Alternates (except for Bold), Ornaments (4 total).
