Palatinoâ„¢A font family tree displays different foundries’ versions, or a foundry’s different cuts, of basically the same typeface design.
PalatinoHermann Zapf’s first popular typeface, based on his own elegant calligraphy, effective in text and display, carrying little trace of the Trump Mediaeval eccentricities. PalatinoSome words from Linotype: Palatino is the work of Hermann Zapf and became available in the late 1950s from D. Stempel AG in Frankfurt am Main. Zapf optimized Palatino’s design for legibility, producing a typeface which remained legible even on the inferior paper of the post World War II period. Zapf named the font after Giambattista Palatino, a master of scripts from the time of Leonardo da Vinci. Palatino is an Old Face font which proves that classic forms can still be used to create new typefaces. |
