The creator of the Typeface Family of ITC Legacy® is Ronald Arnholm. While studying under Paul Rand at Yale, he took a class on the history of typography and was inspired by the work of Nicholas Jenson. Arnholm was fascinated with the 1470 edition of Eusebius which is set in Jenson's Roman Typeface. He created a revival of Jenson’s work (Jenson Roman) in the Linotype Library. He was not satisfied with this typeface and went on to create ITC Legacy® to capture all the qualities of the original. In 1992, he designed a companion series of sans serif typefaces based on the structure of the old-style serif fonts. Ronald Arnholm was born April 1, 1939 in Barre, Vermont. He studied graphic design at Rhode Island School of Design, before gaining a Master's of Fine Art from Yale University. He is currently an art professor at the University of Georgia, Lamar Dodd School of Art.
