Summary
editDescriptionPalatino old and new.png |
English: An example of how the same typeface can be revived with very different proportions. Palatino was digitised early on in a version now sold by the company Softmaker as Palazzo Original, the name of which changed for trademark reasons. This version is unusual for preserving some features of the original Palatino metal type lost or altered in Zapf's later rethink of the design for Linotype. The easy-to-describe difference is a p and q without foot serifs and no serif on the centre stroke of the E and F. However, the more obvious differences are ones of feel and spacing: the x-height is smaller, the proportions more organic (almost like a serif version of Optima!) and the spacing rather tighter. Luc Devroye says that the design comes from Berthold, which held the rights to it. |
