Introduction

Background Palatino is the name of a large typeface family that began an old style serif typeface created by Giambattist Palatino. Named after 16th century Italian master of calligraphy Giambattista Palatino, Palatino is based on the humanist fonts of the Italian Renaissance, which mirror the letters formed by a broad nib pen; this gives a calligraphic grace.

Influences But where the Renaissance faces tend to use smaller letters with longer vertical lines which are ascenders and descenders with lighter strokes, Palatino has larger proportions, and is considered to be a much easier to read typeface. Medieval and Renaissance issues of design and typography have influenced many modern time typographers and book designers. They trace back to the characteristics and styles that represented the Renaissance and Medieval time period. The Palatino font is considered to be a member of the Old stlye. Old style type is a style of font developed by Renaissance typographers to replace the Blackletter style of type and is generally considered "warm" or friendly, thanks to its origins in Renaissance humanism, it was also influenced in part by Roman inscriptions.
