The new Linotype Univers includes not only more, but also better graded weights, which are carefully coordinated according to their boldness and character width
The single weights were first interpolated digitally, but subsequently overdrawn, resulting in strong individual characteristics even within a single family
Every weight of the new Linotype Univers™ possesses the same caps height, as well as the same ascender and descender heights. This allows for unlimited combinations. A chosen stroke width guarantees the same optical weight in every set
|
The Family Stays TogetherAn important aspect of the new development is the substantial expansion of the family. The proportions of every weight and character set are now more consistent with each other, allowing for open combination options and always keeping the family character clear. Linotype Univers®, along with Avenir® Next, Compatil®, Eurostile® Next, Frutiger® Next, Optima® nova, Sabon Next, Palatino® nova and Linotype Syntax® belongs to the typefaces of the Linotype Platinum Collection. These fonts were carefully digitized and have the high quality demanded by professional typography. All fonts of the Platinum Collection were produced according to the Linotype tradition of quality. Linotype and its authorized partners offer these fonts as Platinum Collections CDs or as single fonts or value packs. |
