Constantia was designed by John Hudson in the early 2000s, as one of the ClearType Collection fonts for Microsoft. It was designed to showcase the improved screen text capabilities of the subpixel rendering system developed by Microsoft’s Advanced Reading Technologies group, with a specific brief to be suitable for ebooks and online journals. Since its initial release in 2004, Constantia has also proven itself a popular choice for corporate communications such as annual reports. The character set covers pan-European alphabet support for Latin and Cyrillic, and monotonic Greek; later extensions include Vietnamese support.
