Many also appreciate the idiosyncrasies – a quest for extremes that lead Luc(as) to some of the narrowest, thinnest, wittiest and boldest typefaces around. They are attracted by their functionality and friendly appearance and love the enormous range of possibilities that each family offers. The ITC® Library comprised of more than 1,650 designs features the work of world-class typeface designers. For nearly four decades, ITC has designed and marketed typefaces to creative professionals. Graphic designers across the planet have discovered the special qualities of Luc(as)’s fonts. By far, the most influential and successful type foundry of the 1970s and well into the 1980s was International Typeface Corporation. He developed two font families for Microsoft: the monospaced font family Consolas, as a successor for Courier, and Calibri, the default typeface in MS Word. Luc(as) has designed custom fonts for newspapers such as Folha de S.Paulo, Le Monde, Metro, Der Spiegel, taz.die tageszeitung, Freitag, Jungle World – in addition to creating corporate type for international companies including Sun Microsystems, Bell South, Heineken, Volkswagen and Miele.
But his repertoire is much wider and his type became a subtle part of everyday life. Berlin-based Dutch type designer Luc(as) de Groot is best-known for his superfamily Thesis: TheSans, TheSerif, TheMix, TheAntiqua, with monospaced and even Arabic variants.
