Equity Typeface adopted in GA

Law360 has Equity (The Typeface) Coming To Georgia Appellate Opinions

• For the first time in two decades, the Court of Appeals of Georgia will switch the typeface it uses to write opinions from the staid Times New Roman to a style specifically designed for the legal industry.
• [The] move toward Equity was influenced by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which adopted the typeface a few years ago
• Equity designer and practicing attorney Matthew Butterick told Law360 that he started work on the font more than a decade ago, after publishing "Typography for Lawyers," a guide to using printing style to improve presentation of legal arguments. His font was meant as a partial answer to the ubiquitous Times New Roman, which Butterick describes as "an absence of a font choice."
• Equity is easier to read and more elegant than Times New Roman, but allows attorneys to fit the same number of words per page, a criticism he heard about other font styles, Butterick said.
