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 [...]

Typographic Tip of the Month from Linotype’s Type Director Akira Kobayashi!
July 2006: It’s in the Mix!
When one is using more than one typeface within a design, a simple guideline should be observed: the typefaces should not be too similar to one another, but rather exhibit a certain contrast. This adds a layer of suspense and diversification to the overall piece.
Sample 1: A large headline, followed by three [...]
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.

About Compatil® Text Bold ...
Designer: Linotype Design Studio / Olaf Leu, 2001
Compatil® Text Bold belongs to the Compatil® Text 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
Compatil Text.
