About the Nu Sans font family

Nu Sans is based on Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font. Espy Sans is a font designed by Apple's Human Interface people for easy readability on computer screens. This bitmap font is also used by the Newton and comes with the Newton Toolkit as well as the Newton Toolkit Demo (part of "Programming for the Newton" by McKeehan and Rhodes).

Now you can use Espy Sans on your printer as well. I was fascinated by the towering x-height and easy readability of this font when I first started using eWorld. Then the font showed up again in Greg Landweber & Ed Voas' "Aaron" system extension to update the look of your Mac. I had been designing fonts for awhile and so I decided to take on the challenge of making a printer font out of a bitmap. Driven by a need to use Nu Sans as a general, all-purpose font, I created an Italic and Bold Italic. I have many users who swear by Nu Sans as the default font for their web browsers :-)

I hope that you enjoy using these fonts as much as I enjoyed designing them for you! Send me your comments at wamozart@teleport.com. And be sure to visit my webpage at: <http://www.teleport.com/~wamozart/fonts.html>

The demo version on Nu Sans includes the regular (without the international characters or other doodads.) A full version with all the characters, plus a bold, italic and bold italic is available to registered users. Please see my page on how to register my fonts. Technical questions and answers about Nu Sans are available in my FAQ. Many people have wondered why I changed the name of my font from Epsy Sans to Nu Sans. If you are curious, the whole story is outlined in my version history.
