Antique Olive has been designed by the famous french type designer Roger Excoffon. In 1960 he first designed the Nord and Nord italic. Which perfectly fits for advertising, signage and poster purposes. The Bold and Compact weights had been designes in 1963. Later in 1965 the Black weight was released.
