One Glance at the Final Result Proves: The Effort was Worth it

The combination of the formal diversity of the single characters and the rhythm of the characters together has succeeded in the new Linotype Syntax™ as in no other sanserif typeface. It even looks good in text set in caps. The new Linotype Syntax™ balances its information unbelievably sensitively, as only the best old face typefaces can. The result: a harmonic, perfect typeface with the largest possible graphic succinctness in each form. The flawless play between letters can generally do without kerning.
