Georgia is a transitional serif typeface designed in 1993 by Matthew Carter for the Microsoft Corporation, as the serif companion to the first Microsoft sans serif screen font, Verdana(also designed by Carter). It is designed for clarity on a computer monitor even at small sizes, partially due to a relatively large x-height. The Georgia typeface name is a registered trademark of the Microsoft Corporation. The Georgia typeface shares many similarities with Times New Roman, though Georgia is noticeably larger than Times at the same point size.
