Palatino is a timeless serif typeface designed in 1949 by Hermann Zapf for the Stempel type foundry, later distributed by Linotype and Monotype. Belonging to the Serif category, its sub-category is Humanist Serif (Old-Style Revival), inspired by Renaissance calligraphy and the lettering of the Italian master Giambattista Palatino, after whom the font is named. Known for its elegance, warmth, and excellent legibility, Palatino has been widely used in books, academic publishing, corporate identity, and fine printing. Its balanced proportions and calligraphic grace make it suitable for both body text and display typography. Palatino is a proprietary typeface licensed by Monotype and requires a commercial license for professional use.
