Archer, created in 2008, was designed by Tobias Frere-Jones and Jonathan Hoefler. Archer was originally designed specifically for use in Martha Stewart Living— the magazine wanted a “straightforward”, yet personable font, and Archer evolved into just that.
As described in the overview of Archer on Typography.com, Frere-Jones and Hoefler wanted to create a font that pulled from the “ordinary” world of traditional Antique fonts with the modern flair of Geometrics. Archer became a favorite for it’s fun take on a familiar style.
