Cartier, the first Canadian typeface.
Cartier Roman and Cartier Book are serif old style typefaces designed by Carl Dair in 1967, who was commissioned by the Canadian Governmentto create a new and distinctively Canadian typeface. The first proof of Cartier (in Roman and Italic faces) was published as “the first Canadian type for text composition” to mark the centenary of Canadian Confederation.
This typeface was later redesigned by Toronto-based typographer Rod McDonald in a digital format. McDonald’s Cartier family removed inconsistencies in the baseline weight, and streamlining the stroke angles to enforce a strong horizontal flow. His work was a form of homage to the validity of Dair’s original design, which later was unfortunately plagued with weight, stroke, and grid issues because Dair insisted that Mergenthaler Linotype’s drawing office not refine the face but instead relied only on his personal sketches.

“In 1965, we dumped the old, staid British ensign for our own new flag. in lIt’s the one with the big red maple leaf in the middle. A simple, sweet leaf! We also have moose and beavers on our coins. And we call our dollars loonies because the coin has an image of a loon. Another old bird, the Queen of England, is on the other side of the coin.”
