Nu Sans is a font family that brings Apple Computer's "Espy Sans" bitmap font to the printed page.
Nu Sans is a font family based on Apple Computer's "Espy
Sans" and "Epsy Sans Bold" bitmap fonts. Espy Sans
and Epsy Sans Bold are fonts designed by Apple's Human Interface
people for easy readability on computer screens. These bitmap
fonts are also used by the Newton OS and Apple Guide.
Now you can use Espy Sans on your printer and on-screen. I was
fascinated by the towering x-height and easy readability of Apple's
bitmap fonts when I first started using eWorld. Then the bitmap
fonts showed up 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 scalable fonts out of bitmap fonts. 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. :-)
Starting with version 9.0, I've incorporated advanced hand-edited
TrueType instructions to improve the on-screen appearance of Nu
Sans at any point size--without bitmap fonts. The regular and
bold weights are fully hinted. The other styles of Nu Sans will
get the same treatment in future versions.
I hope that you enjoy using these fonts as much as I enjoyed designing
them for you! A complete version
history of Nu Sans is available online. Send me your comments

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.
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 :-) Info-Mac has my permission to distribute this package in any medium.
