LF Taz III was designed by Luc( as) de Groot and released by LucasFonts. LF Taz III consists of 30 designs and family plan choices. p > The Taz type household was initially established as a headline typeface for taz - short for Tageszeitung - a nation-wide German daily. It was, and still is, the foundation of the paper's strong, trustworthy visual identity. Says Luc( as): 'For a headline typeface, you want the lines to be as carefully line-spaced as possible. The accents on the capitals - a really common function in German - can not use up too much area.' Ascenders and descenders were kept brief for optimum impact.

Although the Taz family was designed as a paper font, it works equally well in lots of other contexts. It has been used in glossy magazines, sales catalogues and business pamphlets, and is appreciated for its readability when utilized for longer texts in medium sizes.

Since its beginning, the Taz typeface has gradually been broadened. The current version, Taz III, can be found in an incredible variety of 15 weights, consisting of a big series of distinctive hairline fonts and an UltraBlack for optimal effect on huge posters and in publication headlines.

The current OpenType variation consists of character sets for dozens of languages including special sets for Main European, Baltic, Icelandic and Turkish.
