oefler Text, invented in 1991, revived a number of traditions that had once been essential to fine printing such as, extended ligature sets, the engraved capitals of the early twentieth century, and the arabesques of the renaissance.

Hoefler Text even invented a few traditions of its own, such as casespecific punctuation and italic small caps, and worked to expand the reach of digital typography beyond the United States by including a wealth of foreign symbols and accents.
