 Inspired
by the seventeenth century baroque types of Jean Jannon and Nicholas
Kis, Hoefler Text is a contemporary Antiqua font, designed specially
for Apple in order to demonstrate advanced type technologies of the
Mac. Hoefler Text was designed to allow typography on its highest level
and the use of automatic ligatures, the round and long s, real small
capitals, old style figures and swashes.
 Hoefler
Text is associated with its ornament font. It was designed with
the healthy conceit that such an extensive family of typefaces might
anticipate every need of a demanding typographer.
