Typefaces are usually designed for one specific media or function in mind, be it for books, headings, on-screen reading, newspapers or other purposes. The Compatil type system covers a much broader spectrum. It takes into account all aspects of communication, combining aesthetics with a level of functionality that addresses a whole range of media. It is economic in its space requirements, is very easy to read because of its large x-height and consequently, is also ideal for narrow-column typesetting.
