The biggest surprises accompanying Palatino nova´s release are the Palatino Sans and Palatino Sans Informal families. After almost 70 years designing some of the world´s most well-known serif and script typefaces, Hermann Zapf has applied his extensive knowledge to the sans serif genre. Like his landmark 1998 hit Zapfino™, the exceptionally original Palatino Sans and Palatino Sans Informal are a fresh contribution to typography.

About Palatino™ Sans Family OpenType CD ...

Designer: Hermann Zapf / Akira Kobayashi, 1950
Palatino Sans is a 21st Century sans serif typeface from the master German designer Hermann Zapf. Palatino Sans and Palatino Sans Informal was designed as part of a group of three font families: Palatino nova, Palatino Sans, and Palatino Sans Informal. Together these three families act as the fulfilment of Herman Zapf's original Palatino idea. Palatino, which was born as a metal typeface in 1950, proved to be one of the 20th Century's most popular designs. Not only is Palatino Sans Informal a completely new typeface, it is also a completely new interpretation of the entire sans serif genre. Its letterforms are curved, rounded, and soft, not hard and industrial. In comparison with Palatino Sans, Palatino Sans Informal offers eccentricities that are somewhat artistic and more individual looking. The fonts in the Palatino Sans Informal family include several OpenType features, such as an extended character set covering all Latin-based European languages, old style figures, small caps, fractions, ordinals, ligatures, alternates, and ornaments. Palatino Sans Informal can be mixed well with Palatino and Palatino Sans.
