Chronicle Text Font Family was designed by Jonathan Hoefler and published by Hoefler & Co.. Chronicle Text contains 48 styles and family package options. A vigorous hybrid of time-honored forms and contemporary design strategies, Chronicle Display (a suite of headline faces) and Chronicle Text (a suite of text faces) bring strength and utility to the classic serif.The Chronicle Text typeface was designed by Jonathan Hoefler in 2002, as a text-size counterpart to Chronicle Display. Chronicle is an update to the ‘scotch’ genre of typefaces, which emerged at the end of the eighteenth century, and remains one of typography’s most enduring and serviceable styles of letter. Chronicle Text was created for The Toronto Star, in whose pages the typeface first appeared in 2002. Designed by Jonathan Hoefler with contributions from Tobias Frere-Jones, Jesse Ragan; Sara Soskolne. Special thanks to Lucie Lacava.Advance copies of Chronicle Text were circulated under the working title Torstar Text.
