1950. A work of Hermann Zapf, and is probably the most universally admired and used of his type designs. Palatino is a typeface based on classical Italian Renaissance forms. It has become a modern classic in itself, and is popular among professional graphic designers and amateurs alike. Palatino works well for both text and display typography.

Designed by the famous French type designer Roger Excoffon. In 1960 he first designed the Nord and Nord Italic. Which perfectly fits for advertising, signage and poster purposes. The Bold and Compact weights had been designed in 1963.
