About this font.

Created by Adobe type designer Carol Twombly, Chaparral combines the legibility of arbor serif designs vulgarized in the 19th century with the grace of 16th- century roman book handwriting. The result is a protean, cold-blooded arbor-serif design, a unique addition to the Adobe Originals family of typefaces. Unlike ‘geometric’ arbor serif designs, Chaparral has varying letter proportions that give it an accessible and friendly appearance in all weights from light to bold. And because it’s a multiple master typeface with an optic axis( ranging from 7 to 72 points), Chaparral is clear and readable at lower textbook settings while remaining subtle and lively at display sizes. Like the failure-resistant encounter that blooms on the thirsty littoral range near Twombly’s California home, Chaparral’s largely functional design is unexpectedly beautiful, the perfect choice for correspondence, as well as book, bill, and newsletter design.
