Como su propio nombre indica, Linotype Syntax™ Serif es un nuevo elemento añadido a la famosa familia Syntax de Hans Eduard Meier. La idea original de Syntax era desarrollar un tipo de letra que combinase la elegancia de una fuente romana renacentista con las características estructurales de una fuente sin gracias. Meier comenzó el diseño en 1954 y la fundición tipográfica D. Stempel AG lo publicó en tipos de metal caliente en 1968 con tres pesos: ligera, semi-negrita y extra-negrita.

[...]You can’t get rid of them: the typeface classics which date back to the time of hot-metal setting. The advantage in using these classics is their visual trustworthiness, which comes from their long history. Unfortunately, these typefaces also have different disadvantages. They are often poorly built-up: bold weights, small capitals, and other elements are often missing. In addition, the transfer from hot-metal and photo typesetting into digital technology – often completed under time-pressure –

[...]"Am 30. Dezember 1922 kam ich in der Schweiz, in Horgen am Zürichsee, zur Welt. In einem grossen Haus mit grossem Garten verbrachte ich meine Jugend, und viel Freizeit verbrachte ich auf dem See mit Segeln, Paddeln, Schwimmen und Fischen. Zeichnen und Malen waren aber seit meiner frühesten Kindheit meine Lieblingsbeschäftigungen.
Nach den Schulen absolvierte ich eine Lehre als Schriftsetzer. Anschliessend besuchte ich die Fachklasse für Typografie und die Fachklasse für Grafik an der Schule
[...]Almost half a century has passed since Hans Eduard Meier drew the first pencil sketches in 1955 which would provide the basis for the forms and scope of today´s Linotype Syntax typeface family. Considering the technical developments which led from hot metal composition to digitization, the passage of time is a strong affirmation of the timelessness of the Syntax design. The five weights of Syntax Antiqua were the last hot metal types produced by the German type foundry Stempel AG. The

[...]The concept behind the origin of Syntax™ was to develop a typeface that merged the grace of a Renaissance roman with the structural characteristics of a grotesque. The Swiss typographer Hans Eduard Meier drew the first designs for the typeface in 1954; 15 years later Syntax™ Roman appeared from the typefoundry D. Stempel AG in three weights: light, semibold, and extra bold.

The sans serif typeface Syntax™ was designed by Switzerland’s Hans Eduard Meier, based on the proportions of a Renaissance roman type. It went into use in 1968 as the last hot-metal typeface from the D. Stempel type foundry. And has remained a classic through a variety of technical changes and adaptations. In collaboration with its creator, a gentle overhaul of the typeface was begun in 1995. Ultimately, after maintaining a manageable size for 20 years with semi-bold, bold and italic, the
