George Ryans ITC Migrate is a highly condensed sans serif display face that effectively complements ITC Adderville. Migrate represents what Ryan calls a more highly evolved version of a typeface he designed for Bitstream in 1991 called Oz Handicraft. Both faces, says Ryan, are based on designs of the popular early 20th-century type designer Oswald Cooper. His inspiration came from drawing samples found in the Book of Oz Cooper, published in 1949 by the Society of Typographic Arts in Chicago. Oz worked extensively with the sans serif form long before it became popular in the States, eschewing a popular belief of the time that sans serifs were only skeletons of letters. Where Oz Handicraft was informal and quirky, ITC Migrate has a more restrained feel. The uppercase characters and figures, in particular, have been reworked, says Ryan, resulting in a more formal and traditional, compressed sans serif typeface.
