Generis Sans Regular font as Bonus with any Linotype.com purchase!

! Welcome to the Current Issue of the LinoLetter !

Introduction:

Get to know Generis® this month! A type system packed with four matching subfamilies, Generis offers a total of 28 fonts. All customers making a purchase through May 18 2008 will get the Generis Sans Regular font as bonus. Curious about the other 27? A number of Generis Value Packs are available as well. Berling™ Nova is another superfamily, offering both serif and sans serif variants. While Generis and Berling are great text faces, we know that our customers love display fonts as well: to wrap up this newsletter, check out Phenix American™ or the extreme lightweight designs written up in our new “thin fonts” feature.

Have fonts of fun!

Introducing Value Packs and a bonus font – The Generis Type System

Through May 18 2008, receive a copy of the Generis Sans Regular font as bonus with any purchase at Linotype.com. Just try it out! Once you’ve started using Generis, try the rest of this stunning type system. And instead of acquiring it font by font, you can license a Value Pack, a great deal for your money: the more fonts you purchase, the more you save on each individual font’s price. All of Generis’s substyles have their own Value Packs (Sans, Serif, Simple, and Slab). For just 599.00 USD/EUR, you can get them all with the Generis Complete Family Value Pack!

Now with sans serifs – Berling Nova grows even more useful.

Berling Nova is a nordic workhorse text face, with six typefaces spread over four weights and two optical sizes. The design is a retooled expansion of Berling, a 1950s creation by Karl-Erik Forsberg that just might be the most famous typeface ever to come from Sweden. Just released, the Berling Nova Sans family makes a great companion to the seriffed Berling Nova, yet its design is so fresh that it easily stands up to use on its own. Berling Nova Sans is a breath of fresh Scandinavian air, blowing away the stuffiness from the humanist sans genre.

Phenix American – Another side of Morris Fuller Benton.

Morris Fuller Benton is one of the 20th century’s most prolific typeface designers, and his work continues to inspire the world over during the 21st. Phenix American, originally created in 1935, was one of his last designs. It still finds good use today: imbued with the Art Deco spirit, Phenix American is a very condensed sans serif that cuts a mean figure in magazine headlines, business cards, and billboards.

Travel back in time to the Empire State Building era with this tall, thin type.

All about our thinnest fonts – New Linotype Matrix™ feature added to our website.

For years, ultra light designs—so-called “hairline” types—have been popular. Two years ago, we wrote a feature illustrating these special faces in the second issue of the Linotype Matrix. Now we’ve brought this information directly onto our website. These typefaces are great for magazine headlines, billboards, or anything where they can be set large enough to show off their curves.
