Agfa Announces the AgfaType Collection
CD-ROM Version 7.0

-- Featuring the Creative Alliance Library for Macintosh and Windows --

Wilmington, MA -- June 12, 1996 -- Agfa today announced the release of the AgfaType Collection CD-ROM version 7.0 for both the Macintosh and Windows environments. The new dual-platform single CD contains 4,300 typefaces--500 more than contained in version 6.0 released last year--and it offers four distinct type libraries.

The Creative Alliance Library, available for the first time on CD, offers over 1,000 of the most contemporary typefaces available today. The library contains more than 200 Creative Alliance Exclusives--typefaces produced by the most talented type designers and foundries from around the world. In addition, the Creative Alliance Library features a diverse range of Art Parts EPS illustrations and new faces from FontHaus. Also debuting on the CD is the Cornerstone Collection, with more than 500 classic AgfaType fonts, including the internationally popular Agfa Rotis family, and the best-selling Engravers' Sets and Typographer's Editions. Rounding out the Agfa library selections is the AgfaType Logo and Symbols Library of over 10,000 images. Version 7.0 also contains the original Adobe Library up to volume 405, and the new CD offers a selection of fonts from the ITC and Fontek libraries.

The AgfaType Collection CD-ROM version 7.0 also introduces 50 new Creative Alliance Exclusives--typefaces available only through AgfaType distributors. This exclusive selection features new designs from Panache Typography, Waddy Studio International, Canadian type designer Nick Shinn, and American Christian Schwartz. Also on version 7.0 is an extensive offering of exclusive FontHaus faces never before available on CD-ROM.

"Version 7.0 is different and exciting for many reasons, aside from being our first dual-platform type product," says Karen Houghton, worldwide marketing manager for Typographic Systems. "We have streamlined the user interface for productivity and added more faces that users really want. The AgfaType Collection CD-ROM version 7.0 is the most diverse font resource on the market because of its wide and exclusive selection from the best designers and foundries."

The AgfaType Collection CD-ROM version 7.0 and a new type catalog will be available in June from Agfa (1-800-424-TYPE), FontHaus, Phil's Fonts, Precision Type (in the United States), Type USA, and other Agfa type and graphics products dealers worldwide.
