I'm familiar with the purpose of the Adobe Sans and Adobe Serif multiple master fonts (to stand in as fallback substitutes for other missing fonts), and even know about the Flickr group to document sightings in the wild, but I'm curious to learn more about their history. Does anyone know who actually designed the fonts? Were they first introduced with Adobe Type Manager? What kind of license are they distributed with by default?

We work with all the bus companies to make sure you can see all your options with clear and updated pricing and schedules (and with great discounts thrown in). We’ve built a system to fix these problems. We know a secret: it doesn’t have to be that way.

I've poked around for info online, especially here on Typophile, but haven't found much. Nick, here are the bits I found out so far: Adobe Sans and Serif were originally introduced with Acrobat, to serve exactly the purpose you’re describing above. While the fonts were not yet ready for the 1st release of Acrobat (instead, a MM version of Myriad could be found in there), they finally came with Acrobat version 2 (1994). The fonts were designed by Fred Brady, but also Jim Wasco has done some work on the family.

Probably the name of a designer didn’t stick, as the fonts had to be as anonymous and as generic as possible. Also, the design concept being so constrained (having to cover everything from thin to black, condensed to wide) did probably not allow for a lot of creative involvement. The fonts have not been modified in a long time, and still do their job (using MultipleMaster technology) in the latest version of Adobe Acrobat.

AFAIK, there is no license for them, and I guess using them outside Acrobat might be too difficult for most people anyway.:). Thanks so much for sleuthing around for the answers, Frank. I'm assuming you got the info from some longer-standing Adobe staff members? Though most designers groan at the sight of these fonts (after all, seeing them does usually mean something has gone wrong) I must say that the problem they solve is an interesting one. As you mentioned, they were purposefully made to be generic, but I think a lot of creativity still went into their design to get them to work as intended. Indeed, if they hadn't done a minimally reasonable job with the design, we probably wouldn't be seeing so many examples where the fonts make it out into the wild:) As for the license, I'd be surprised if the legal team at Adobe didn't cover these fonts with some section in the EULA about bundled software or something like that.

Topic: Adobe Serif MM, Adobe Sans MM Conf: (P-PDF) Developers, Msg: 87119 From: Date: 5/6/2003 10:34 PM Hi All, I'm writing Plug-In for Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 which show actual system fonts for not embedded fonts in PDF Document (something like Files->Document Properties->Fonts) I use PDFindSysFont,PDFinsSysFontForPDEFont and PDFindSysFontEx. I haven't seen the case when these functions returned Adobe Serif MM or Adobe Sans MM system Multiple Masters fonts yet, but Adobe substitute these fonts. Could you help me with rules of substitution for these fonts or give me some additional info about this fonts (Design and Blend Coordinates description), 'cause I should show actual fonts name and type for not embedded font in same way like Adobe Acrobat. Looking forward for answer Vitaliy.
