the stroke width grows from within the letters, yet the spacing remains constant and linebreaks are preserved.André Berthold (ARD, SWR) & Jochen Schmidt (ZDF)Īndré Berthold (ARD, SWR) Senior Engineer, Head of “Technology and Software Development” department at ARD.de André Berthold (39) studied Computer Science, Computational Linguistics and French at the universities of Leipzig, Strasbourg (France) and Saarbrücken. Both styles are uniwidth designs, that means each letter occupies the same space in all weights. ZDF Type is optimized for long body texts, the letters are constructed in a similar vein to Micro, but their spacing is narrower and have a smaller x-height. ZDF Micro is perfect for very small texts as it runs wider, has a larger x-height and uses serifs and curved strokes to make it easier to distinguish between similar letters. The three different optical sizes of the typeface ensure the best legibility. The result is an extremely comprehensive corporate type system: 116 fonts with three widths and three styles as well as corresponding italics. They wanted the new font to have better legibility, more flexibility and a stronger identity without leaving the type genre and thus the viewing habits of the audience.
