(Introduction) 'Minion, a contemporary digital type family created by Adobe designer Robert Slimbach, is inspired by classic old style typefaces of the late Renaissance. Designed primarily for text-setting, the Minion family of typefaces combines the aesthetic and functional qualities that make text type inviting to read, with the clarity of digital technology. Although inspired by the past, Minion is contemporary in detail and function, and reflects both the designer's personal tastes and the ever-changing demands of modern typography and graphic design.

Named after one of the type sizes used in the early days of typefounding, Minion means "a beloved servant," which reflects the type's useful and unobtrusive qualities. Together, Minion and Minion Expert Collection contain 22 typefaces, the largest type family ever offered by Adobe. The wide range of weights and expanded character sets was designed to address the needs of fine book designers and typo-graphers. Whether for lengthy text or display typesetting, the Minion family is a welcome addition to the Adobe Originals type library.'
