Hermann Zapf’’ s Palatino, designed for the Stempel foundry in 1950, is among the most commonly used typefaces in the world today.

Classical Italian Renaissance letterforms mix with the quality of line needed for twentieth-century printing procedures, and Palatino’’ s generous width help readability at little sizes.

Although Zapf initially meant it to be a display face, the elegant and highly clear Palatino is a frequent choice for setting text.
