Additional Features

Palatino Sans has several additional features. The OpenType possibilities are used to expand the character set. The wooden case of a compositor in the old days only had space for 125 letters. The Palatino Sans alphabets offer in addition old style figures, small caps iin upright and in italic, fractions, ordinals and two ornaments and two different ampersands:

Ligatures – the advantage of OpenType allow for extra f-ligatures, like ffl, ffi, fft etc., and nice ligatures like ct, et, st, and sp.
