Office Alliance fonts

Linotype today introduced Office Alliance, four classic office typefaces reworked for easy weight-switching within each family while avoiding layout adjustments. The fonts include Metro Office, Trump Mediaeval Office, Neuzeit Office and Times Europa Office and are based on the original sans serif or serif typeface; each has also been reworked just enough so its four weights (Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic) all share an identical width and can interact smoothly with each other. "Never before has such unifying weight compatibility been achieved," the company said. "Now, with a lot less hassle, Office Alliance supports a unique combination of weights for lively and eye-catching layouts, keeping corporate communication diverse and interesting." In each font family, the letters in all four weights have the same width and all letterforms also share the same cap height and x height, allowing anyone creating business documents to combine fonts of different weights without affecting the layout. Each font family is available for $180 (all four weights) in OpenType format for up to five workstations.
