Charter is a serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter in 1987 for Bitstream Inc. It is also known as Bitstream Charter. Charter based on Pierre-Simon Fournier’s characters, originating from the 18th century. Charter was originally optimized for printing on the low-resolution 300 dpi laser printers of the 1980s and remains suitable for printing on both modern high-resolution laser printers and inexpensive lower resolution inkjet printers due to its strong, legible design.
For its popularity, a pro version of Charter was released in 2004, with an expanded character set including additional symbols, ranging figures (old-style) and small capitals. Premiéra, Brando, FF Milo Serif, and many more fonts are mostly similar to Charter font. This is a freeware font. Free download is available on our website.
