Designed for the International Typeface Corporation in 1990 by Erik Spiekermann. A sans serif version of ITC Officina Serif. Sharing the same weights, shapes and proportions, this typeface is as good and strong as its serifed sister. Legible, economical and robust, it is well suited for office correspondence, but has a wider application in advertising and display work. Additional styles and small caps were developed in 1998 by Ole Schafer. Cyrillic version was developed at ParaType (ParaGraph) in 1994 by Tagir Safayev. Additional Cyrillic styles and small caps were developed for ParaType in 2002 by Isabella Chaeva. Greek design was developed by Panos Haratzopoulos from Cannibal Fonts in 2000.
