The University of Georgia's Professor of Art Ronald Arnholm's ITC Legacy Square Serif Pro font has recently been nominated for the Federal Republic of Germany Design Award 2011. This prestigious award is one of the highest to receive for design excellence in Germany.
Inspired by Nicolas Jenson's 1470 Eusebius typeface, Arnholm designed a revival of that typeface for his MFA thesis. In the early 1980's, he revisited his design and began to expand the original to become ITC Legacy. The family was first released in the early 1990s, and Arnholm has added more to the family since.
The family includes sans, serif, and square serif as well as serif condensed with each including several weights.
Arnholm is a graphic design professor at the university. He received his BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design and his MFA at Yale where he studied with Paul Rand, Bradbury Thompson, Alvin Eisenman, and Herbert Matter.
