Georgia is a transitional serif typeface designed in 1993 by Matthew Carter for Microsoft, with hand-hinting by Tom Rickner to ensure clarity on low-resolution screens. Belonging to the Serif category, its sub-category is Transitional Serif, which combines the elegance of old-style serifs with the sharper contrast and refined structure of modern serifs. Georgia was created as part of Microsoft’s core web fonts project, optimized for digital readability while retaining a traditional, book-like character. It remains one of the most widely used fonts for websites, digital publishing, and editorial design due to its balance of legibility, warmth, and sophistication. Georgia is a proprietary typeface licensed by Microsoft/Monotype and comes bundled with most operating systems, but requires a license for certain commercial uses and embedding.
