Today the Adobe Type team’s mission is to conduct original research and development for type at Adobe, making sophisticated and even experimental typefaces that explore the possibilities of design and technology. Typefaces released as Adobe Originals — fully-featured families and smaller “Concept” projects alike — are the result of years of work and study, regarded as industry standards for the ambition and quality of their development.

From fighting for the right to vote to leading the way in science, politics, and business, women have made remarkable contributions to society—and the world of typographic arts is no exception. International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global, inclusive celebration of these achievements. Originally fomented by women activists at the turn of the 20th century, the spirit of IWD is just as relevant today.
