About Georgia
Matthew Carter designed both the sans serif Georgia and the serifed Georgia as screen fonts in 1996. Unlike Licko’s Base-9 and Base-12 they are not bitmap-based. (The ancestor of Georgia is Bell Centennial.) Microsoft offers them free to anyone as downloadable fonts for use on websites and personal computers, though they can be used with success in printed documents as well. They are intentionally ordinary to further their widespread acceptance and help guarantee a long shelf life. Consequently, they may become the new Helvetica and Times Roman.
