Antique Olive is a humanist sans-serif typeface ("antique" being equivalent to sans-serif in French typographic conventions). Along the lines of Gill Sans, it was designed in the early 1960s by French typographer Roger Excoffon, an art director and former consultant to the Marseilles based Fonderie Olive.〔Provan, Archie, and Alexander S. Lawson, ''100 Type Histories (volume 1)'', National Composition Association, Arlington, Virginia, 1983. pp. 16-17.〕 In addition to a basic weight, ''Antique Olive'' was produced in medium, condensed, wide, bold, condensed bold, extra bold (known as ''Antique Olive Compact''), and ultra bold (known as ''Nord'').〔Jaspert, W. Pincus, W. Turner Berry and A.F. Johnson. ''The Encyclopedia of Type Faces.'' Blandford Press Lts.: 1953, 1983, ISBN 0-7137-1347-X, p. 2408-249〕 The key shapes, especially the letter O, resemble an olive, which is one of the characteristics which make Excoffon's typefaces unique. Lewis Blackwell later commented on the design, "An attempt to offer a more refined sans serif than presented by Helvetica and Univers, but it was too characterful and too late to be widely adopted outside of France." The face was later made available in cold type and digital versions are now offered by Adobe Systems and Linotype. A very limited set of styles digitised by URW++ has been released as open-source software as part of the Ghostscript project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://svn.ghostscript.com/ghostscript/trunk/ghostpdl/urwfonts/ )〕 == References ==
