Английская Википедия:Athelas (typeface)
Athelas is a serif typeface designed by Veronika Burian and Jose Scaglione and intended for use in body text.[1] Released by their company TypeTogether in 2008, Burian and Scaglione described Athelas as inspired by British fine book printing.[2][3][4]
Athelas is included as a system font in Apple's macOS operating system and as a default font in its Apple Books e-books application.[5][6] It won joint first prize for best Latin-alphabet body text face at the Granshan International Type Design Competition in 2008.[7] It is named after a healing herb in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.[8] Cyrillic characters were later added to the font family, designed by Tom Grace, and monotonic Greek characters designed by Irene Vlachou.[2][9]
In 2017 TypeTogether released an Arabic extension to Athelas.[10] The new script extension was designed by Sahar Afshar, a type designer and researcher from Iran.
