Picked up at the DC Design Talks (from Samantha):

Georgia is a transitional serif typeface designed in 1993 by Matthew Carter (the guy behind Verdana and the questionable Skia) for the Microsoft Corporation. It is designed for clarity on a computer monitor even at small sizes, partially due to a relatively large x-height. The typeface is named for a tabloid test headline about alien heads being found in the U.S. state of Georgia.
