[...]Adrian Williams began his career converting many established metal designs for the new filmsetting devices in1969; an era when other equipment manufacturers offered their devices, each with its own kind of unit system for the operating program. During the 70s he became involved with converting typefaces to digitised systems and is responsible for many original designs which he redrew, working with each manufacturer to make fonts for their unique formats. This led to the production of custom
[...]Penumbra™ was designed by Lance Hidy in 1994, an all-capital multiple master font with two design axes: weight and style. The style axis progresses from a sans serif display design to a full serif design, with flare serifs and half serifs, and everything in between. The weight axis ranges from light to bold. Penumbra’s style range from a Futura-like sans serif to a Sistina-like serif can be successfully used in myriad display situations.

Lucida® is a family of fonts with one basic design, but offered in more variations than normally available for one font. It has both serif and sans serif characters, as well as weights designed specifically for a particular purpose. One weight will print out clearly even on fax machines, another offers the possibility to present a text with black letter characters. The different weights are extremely versatile and can generally be

Font Designer: Rosemary Sassoon, 1995
Sassoon® was designed in 1999 by Rosemary Sassoon in the style of typefaces found in schoolbooks in the early 20th century. The font exhibits a harmony between the space within and outside of the letters. The letters have soft, round forms which give text an almost ornamental character. This flexible font can be used for headlines or text, in small or large point sizes.

Hellmut G. Bomm about Linotype Nautilus™:
"Nautilus is based on a handwritten type used for the text "Li. Das Helle, Klare" from the I Ging (screenprint, 1981, see Fig. 1).
The intention was to create a clear, highly legible typeface. While the even strokes of sans serif types eventually tire the eyes in long texts, the marked stroke contrast of Nautilus lends the type its legibility. The characters were drawn with a broad tipped pen, and

Satero
Crée pour garantir une lisibilité extrême, Satero, une fonte de Werner Schneider, est une nouvelle famille de caractères avec des variantes serif et sans serif ! Admirez ses formes limpides ; les courbes minimalistes soulignent leur mouvement horizontal le long des lignes. Si vous n’êtes toujours pas convaincu, comparez les minuscules a, c, e, r et s à celles d’autres polices de caractères ; elles se distinguent et se lisent bien plus rapidement avec Satero.
Initial concepts for comprehensive type systems surfaced as early as the 1930s, yet they remained the exception. In the days of hot-metal typesetting, handbooks generally recommended creating typeface mixtures from a single type family, a family being understood as including all of a typeface’s weights, such as light, normal, semi-bold, and bold, and including all of the italic weights as well. A well-rounded type family also includes small caps, tabular and old-style figures. These days, the

The Source of the Originals
Well-known type foundries such as Mergenthaler, Linotype, D. Stempel AG, Haas'sche Schriftgießerei, Deberny & Peignot and others laid the foundations towards the Linotype Library becoming the most extensive collection of original fonts. The library contains world-famous classic fonts such as "Frutiger", "Garamond", "Helvetica", "Optima", "Palatino", "Sabon", "Syntax", "Univers" and "Zapfino", to name but a few. Linotype regards itself as a driving force for helping good font designs to success ¿ giving them the opportunity to become classics, even if they were not developed in-house. "Antique Olive" and "Eurostile" are prime examples of this policy.
The names of the most renowned type designers of the 20th and 21st century, e. g., Neville Brody, Matthew Carter, Adrian Frutiger, Hans-Eduard Meier, Gerard Unger and Prof. Hermann Zapf, represent the excellent quality of these typefaces. In addition, modern typefaces that provide a preview of tomorrow's trends offer you room for experimentation when you want to venture into new territories with unconventional designs. Like all Linotype Originals typefaces, they maintain the highest aesthetic and technical standards, backed by well over 100 years of premium typographical quality from Linotype.
