About The Font

Introducing Archer, a slab serif font designed by Tobias Frere-Jones and Jonathan Hoefler. They designed this typeface for Martha Stewart Living magazine in 2001. Afterward, it became freely available and was released for commercial licensing by Hoefler & Frere-Jones in 2008.

Archer is a slab serif with a geometric design similar to that of twentieth-century European slab serifs. Inspiration is also drawn from 20th-century designs such as Rockwell. Although it is a slab serif, it looks very warm and inviting. It is also called a colorful slab-serif.

The typeface is frank—direct, but not terse—because they have taken subtle cues from the world of typewriter faces, which combine the ordinary and practical features of antiques and geometrics. To produce a font that’s friendly and eye-catching without being overly flashy, they have restored the vanished ‘ball terminals’ to the lowercase and uncharacteristically applied these gestures to the capitals as well. For all of these reasons, Archer is a versatile and easy-to-use font.

This font is available in five weights—light, book, medium, bold, and semibold—as well as matching italics. Each weight of the font features a unique collection of characters, including capitals, lowercase, numerals, punctuation marks, symbols, and icons, all of which help make designs legible. The Archer font was created to strike the appropriate balance of authenticity, credibility, and charm.

There is another variant that is available on typography.com known as Archer ScreenSmart. It has been made especially for the web to ensure that it looks sharp at resolutions as small as nine pixels.
