The design of Linotype Sabon NEXT by Jean Francois Porchez, a revival of a revival, was a double challenge: to try to discern Jan Tschichold´s own wishes for the original Sabon, and to interpret the complexity of a design originally made in two versions for different systems.
The first was designed for use on Linotype and Monotype systems. The second version of Sabon was designed for Stempel handsetting, and it seems closer to a pure interpretation of Garamond without many constraints. Naturally Porchez based Linotype Sabon NEXT on this second version and also referred to original Garamond models, carefully improving the proportions of the existing digital Sabon while matching its alignments. The new family includes 6 weights up to Black, Small Caps for most of the weights and Old style Figures and one Ornament font. The standard versions include revised lining figures designed a little smaller than capitals.
Linotype Sabon NEXT is available for Macintosh and PC on a hybrid CD with both platforms. All weights contain an integrated Euro symbol.
Linotype Sabon NEXT, along with Linotype Compatil™, Linotype Frutiger NEXT, Linotype Syntax™, Linotype Syntax Letter™, Linotype Syntax Serif™ and Linotype Univers™ belongs to the fonts of the Linotype Platinum Collection.
These fonts were carefully digitized and have the high quality demanded by professional typography. All fonts of the Platinum Collection were produced according to the Linotype tradition of quality. These fonts are available only as complete typeface families on Platinum Collections CDs for Macintosh and Windows. A licence for 5 CPU is included
