About Olympian® Roman ...

Linotype usage sample for Olympian® Std Roman
Designer: Matthew Carter, 1970
Olympian® Roman belongs to the Olympian® Font Family which is part of the Linotype Originals.
After the Second World War, the Ionic style replaced Modern Face as the favored typeface for newsprint. A couple decades later, it was in turn replaced by the next generation of newspaper fonts, a mix of Old Face, Transitional and Modern Face forms. Olympian font itself tends toward the Old Face style but is nevertheless an example of this new generation, a result of a time of change and experimentation.
