CorporateType

The information society is the product of digital communication that has made it possible to send or receive formatted information anywhere on the planet in an instant. Linotype has developed the means that make sure that this information is also presented at optimized quality – any time, anywhere.

For global transfer of information this may also mean the support of different language character sets. For example, non-Latin sets like Greek or Cyrillic. In Central Europe alone this means making necessary characters available for Polish, Czech, Slovakian, Hungarian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Albanian, Croatian, Rumanian and Slovenian.

In addition to those with Latin characters, the Linotype Library also includes fonts with Central European, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebraic and Arabic character sets. If that is not enough, we can expand existing fonts to include the characters you need for a specific language or even develop a new font. In this way we help international corporations present a professional image through consistent, accurate design.

But Linotype helps with more than just the choice, composition, expansion or development of fonts. CorporateType addresses logistical aspects as well. We can deliver country-specific fonts along with design guidelines wherever a company may need them. And if a particular branch has different needs for its fonts than its headquarters does, we can incorporate that too, taking care of localised operating system characteristics from the outset.

The development of customised fonts make thorough testing necessary. Fonts are tested on all common operating systems and on a variety of different software programs, on-screen displays, on printers and as well as for document transfers. CorporateType includes Linotype’s entire knowhow regarding the development, distribution and use of fonts.
