It's hardly a surprise when a
Hoefler & Frere-Jones typeface gains popularity amongst designers, but the popularity of nine year old Archer has grown faster than many of the faces created by the most famous contemporary foundry in the world. The popularity of Archer is quite interesting, given the slab's quirky terminals and modern but hardly passive shapes. When perusing Archer variants recently on
Typography.com, I noticed that H&FJ recommended a combination of
Archer and
Verlag.
I have to say, this is a beautiful combination of faces. Check out this pairing courtesy of the
wonderful interactive test drive tool on Typography.com:
