Q.Type ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF URW Software & Type GmbH TypeWorks FONTS
COLLECTION ON CD-ROMs FOR NEXTSTEP COMPUTERS
ENGLEWOOD, Colorado, May 8, 1994 -- Q.Type today announced the
availability of URW TypeWorks CD-ROM Vol. 1 and 2 for NEXTSTEP
market. Each URW TypeWorks CD-ROM for NEXTSTEP Volume is an advanced
typographic resource comprised of 3,000 ultra-high quality PostScript
Type 1 fonts for Macintosh and NEXTSTEP at one price. It also
includes Kernus, the industry's most sophisticated tool for precision
letterspacing and kerning.
The URW TypeWorks Collection is supplied completely unlocked on a
CD-ROM in both Macintosh and NEXTSTEP PostScript Type 1 formats.
All fonts and software are available for instant access. Installation
on NEXTSTEP computers is made easy by using our TypefaceInstaller
application that is included with each CD-ROM.
The URW TypeWorks Collection offers an entirely new approach to
professional typography for the microcomputer. URW has chosen 500
typefaces per volume from its extensive database. These 500 most
often specified fonts comprise URW's International Best-Seller List
of Typefaces and include the classics and some of the most popular
contemporary designs licensed from sources like The International
Typeface Corporation and Letraset.
URW's typeface library deserves a special note of attention because
of its authenticity. Its library has been built by some of the
world's most pre-eminent typeface designers. Contributions to the
URW typeface library include commissioned works by Peter Becker,
Charles Bigelow, Frank Blokland, Sigrid Engelmann, Chris Holmes,
Mark Jamra, Helga Jorgensen, Andrew Newton, Albert-Jan Pool, Gerard
Unger, Jovica Veljovic, Kurt Weidemann, Gudrun Zapf von Hesse and
Hermann Zapf.
Utilizing the highly sophisticated IKARUS(R) software developed by
Dr. Peter Karow, URW's expert design, engineering and production
staff has crafted a complementary suite of 5 unique design variations
for each of the 500 master typefaces. Each true-cut design is
supplied with an outline, inline, relief and drop-shadow version.
Every TypeWorks font is enhanced by URW's extensive application of
1,000 unique kerning pairs.
Kernus, also supplied as integral part of the TypeWorks Collection
is a precision kerning tool which automatically generates up to
1,000 unique kerning pairs, in under 30 seconds, for any PostScript
font, on an individual point size basis.
Installation of the TypeWorks collection on NEXTSTEP computers is
simplified with the availability of Q.Type's TypefaceInstaller
application included with each CD-ROM volume.
The URW TypeWorks Collection is an invaluable tool for the graphic
design and prepress industry, or quite simply, anyone that has a
need to compose great looking type.
