Optima™ nova CD for Mac OS and Windows

The basis idea of Optima was to develop a typeface between a sans-serif like the Futura and a classical Roman like Bodoni, To avoid the monotony of the straight lines of an ordinary Sans-serif the stems have slightly curved out lines, typical for all Optima alphabets. This makes the elegance for the various Optima designs. After 50 years since the beginning of Optima a complete redesign was made named Optima nova in producing digital alphabets without technical compromises. The careful work of the new designs was done in close collaboration of Hermann Zapf with the Japanese type designer and computer expert Akira Kobayashi from Tokyo. All Optima alphabets were new shaped and additional weights had been added, like Optima nova Titling, capital letters with special and unusual letter combinations and ligatures. Optima nova Titling is a welcomed font for headlines, logos and advertising purposes. Optima nova is a typeface family from the Platinum Collection. This series was created for the highest quality demanded by professional typography and includes complete families digitized using the newest technology, serving the specific needs of corporate design and similar projects
