- Description
- Palatino Linotype is an old-style serif typeface that pays homage to the Italian Renaissance. Designed by Hermann Zapf in 1948, it showcases open counters, balanced proportions, and flared serifs, providing increased legibility for trade or jobbing use such as headings, advertisements, and display printing. The font was influenced by Roman square capitals and the calligraphy of Giambattista Palatino, with a unique 'palm Y' capital 'Y'. Unlike most Renaissance typeface revivals, it has larger proportions for improved legibility on poor-quality paper or at small sizes.
