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 marty@scootergraphics.com. And be sure to visit my webpage at: < http://www.scootergraphics.com/>

Demoware Notice:

Why pay? Well, aside for helping Marty Pfeiffer go to college, you will get an even greater benefit: full versions of all four Nu Sans fonts. That means that you will get four fonts, each containing the whole character set (with upper and lowercase letters, accented characters, special characters and numbers). You will notice that Nu Sans Demo lacks a full character set and prints out numbers as though they were bitmaps. This is to remind you that you are using a demo version and to encourage you to register. It is my policy to provide free updates for all of my software. Registered users are also the first ones notified when I update my software. Please see my page on how to register my fonts.

Distribution Info:

If you would like to include Nu Sans demo on a CD or upload it to your favorite ftp site, please send me a note. I'm more than happy to allow Nu Sans to be distributed through different channels, I just want to be in the loop :-) Please see my End User License Agreement for details about proper use of my fonts.
