Myriad Fonts

Designed by Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly for Adobe, the Myriad font is a humanist sans serif that is quickly identified by its special ā€œyā€ descender (tail), the slanting ā€œeā€ cut, and rounded curves.

The Myriad font was designed by Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly for Adobe Systems. In 2000, the Myriad Pro font, which is the OpenType version of the original Myriad font family, was designed by Christopher Sly and Fred Brady. The Myriad Pro font was created to move towards OpenType font format as the standard.

Compared to the Myriad MM font, the Myriad Pro font added support for Latin Extended, Greek and Cyrillic characters, and old style figures.

The Myriad Pro font family originally included 30 fonts in three widths and five weights each, with complementary italics. A "semi-condensed" width was appended several years later, expanding the Myriad Pro font family to forty fonts in four widths and five weights each, with complementary italics.

Myriad Pro Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic are bundled with Adobe Reader 7.0 and higher.
