The idea to develop a new typeface tailored to the special requirements of annual reports was born out of the "First Heidelberg Forum for Annual Reports 1988".
The challenge was to provide a type system that delivered readability and multiple tonality while maintaining harmony throughout the wide range of different characters required in an annual report.
Linotype worked closely together with Professor Olaf Leu and his Analyse Team at the University of Applied Sciences, Mainz, who have [...]

Introduction
Many typeface catalogs, including our own, group all serif typefaces together under one umbrella-category. But in truth, there are many different kinds of serifs, e.g., Renaissance serifs, baroque serifs, unbracketed modern serifs, Latin serifs, wedge serifs, etc. One of the most popular styles of seriffed letter, especially for display type, remains the slab serif.
The slab serif is a genre of letterforms that has been in use for almost 200 years. Throughout this time, many [...]

In designing Linotype Compatil, particular attention was paid to ensuring optimum on-screen displays.
The problem in displaying individual forms lies in the low resolution of the screen. This results in the font being displayed in a lower quality. It is particularly important that the individual forms are displayed clearly in on-screen applications and can be distinguished easily.
This is particularly true for financial accounts that are presented on the Internet. The key features include [...]
About Compatil® Letter Regular SC ...
Designer: Linotype Design Studio / Olaf Leu, 2001
Compatil® Letter Regular SC belongs to the Compatil® Letter Font Family which is part of the Platinum Collection.
Compatil is the first comprehensive type system which enables all typographical elements to be used to full effect in order to reproduce the message conveyed by text information. Four different type styles with a total of 16 weights including italics have been merged into a unique typographical network. There are now no limits to the font user's creativity. The system is a product of technical innovation and constitutes a new design approach which meets the highest aesthetic standards. For almost two years, a team of experts from Linotype has been working with initiator Professor Olaf Leu under the direction of Silja Bilz, Erik Faulhaber and Reinhard Haus to create the Compatil type system. Despite the Internet and TV, it is essential today to be able to absorb information quickly by being able to read it with ease. A fact that is becoming increasingly important both on-screen and on paper. It is the role of the font to increase legibility and to ensure typographically perfect results for text design work. The new Compatil type system meets all these needs. The Compatil is a part of the Platinum Collection.The following four different styles are available:
Compatil Exquisit,
Compatil Fact,
Compatil Letter and
