 Type Designers - Carol Twombly Sculpting Type   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Designers who enjoy using the graceful characters found in typefaces such as Trajan and Charlemagne should be thankful that Carol Twombly strayed from her initial artistic endeavors.
Carol continued to work for the Bigelow and Holmes studio for the next four years and, during this time, entered her first type design in an international competition sponsored by Morisawa Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer of typesetting equipment.
To Twombly's surprise and delight, she won first prize in the Latin text category, and Morisawa subsequently licensed and marketed her design under the name Mirarae™.

Carol Twombly found her inspiration for Lithos in stone inscriptions carved by the ancient Greeks.
Greek inscriptions of the kind studied by Carol Twombly reached a high standard of craftsmanship during the forth century B.C. The monoline geometry of the letters was emphasized by inscriptions where they aligned both horizontally and vertically.

Although Twombly left Trajan and Charlemagne relatively unaltered from their original forms, she made a substantial alteration in Lithos.
Twombly decided to create a bold weight for Lithos in addition to its book weight, even though bold-weighted letterforms were nonexistent in ancient Greece.
John Gambell suggests that Twombly "may have felt the font was not marketable today without a bold weight." Regardless of her reasons, Lithos' bold-weighted anachronism is now Neuland's bastard child.

Carol Twombly and Robert Slimbauch emerged as outstanding designers at Adobe, creating original designs and respected digital adaptations of classical typefaces.
Twombly's numerous typefaces include three masterful families inspired by historical lettering (Charlegmange, Lithos, Trajan).
Lithos was inspired by the monoline simplicity and even-textured economy of Greek stone incrpitions, but Twombly transformed these carved letters into a highly original family of five weights with inventive characters and a distinctive appearance.

In a heroic bit of deadline brinkmanship, the first copies were delivered to Carol Wahler, the TDC's executive director, a few hours before she left for Germany.
In Leipzig, the day before the conference started, Carol and four volunteers hand-folded 300-odd copies for distribution in the goodie bag to ATypI attendees.
