Nimbus Sans Round was released by URW Type Foundry. Nimbus Sans Round contains 16 designs and family plan options. p > The very first variations of Nimbus Sans have actually been created and digitized in the 1980s for the URW SIGNUS sign-making system. Greatest precision of all characters (1/100 mm accuracy) as well as spacing and kerning were required since the typefaces ought to be cut in any size in vinyl or other product used for sign-making. Throughout this duration 3 size ranges were developed for text (T), the display screen (D) and poster (P) for little, medium and huge font sizes. In addition, we produced a so-called L-version that was compatible to Adobe's PostScript variation of Helvetica. Nimbus was also the product name of a URW-proprietary renderer for high quality and quick rasterization of outline font styles, a software provided to the designers of PostScript clone RIPs (Hyphen, Harlequin, etc.) at that time. Also in the 80s, a new, enhanced version of the Nimbus Sans, particularly Nimbus Sans Novus was designed. Nimbus Sans Novus was conceptually established completely with URW's IKARUS system, i.e. all designs harmonize perfectly with each other in terms of line width, weight, percentages, etc. On top of that, Nimbus Sans Novus consists of more styles than Nimbus Sans. Now, Nimbus Sans Novus is also available as Round (like the popular URW fonts Futura Round and Eurostile Round). The Round variations are planned to help with the work of designers and typographers. The typefaces can be utilized straight, without additional preparatory operate in graphic programs as completed, top quality Rounds.
