History
Since its initial release in 1989, Trajan has risen to international popularity as a distinctive and versatile display type family. Carol Twombly's sensitive interpretation of the Roman capitals inscribed at the base of Trajan's column in Rome serves as a testament to her skills as a designer, and to the craftsmanship of the ancient lettering artists who devised these elegant and enduring letterforms. Responding to requests from our customers for broader language coverage and for more weights, Adobe® set out to extend the family. Principal Designer Robert Slimbach added Greek and Cyrillic as well as four new weights - two lighter than the original offering, and two heavier. The extended family now provides users with a range of six weights that vary in personality and function. Alongside his extension of Trajan Pro, Robert also created the Trajan Sans type family, which offers users a contemporary and stylish variation of the original seriffed design (see Related OpenType® Packages link below)Menu Names And Style Linking
In many Windows® applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu, fonts are grouped into style-linked sets, and only the name of the base style font for a set is shown in the menu. The italic and the bold weight fonts of the set (if any) are not shown in the font menu, but can still be accessed by selecting the base style font, and then using the italic and bold style buttons. In this family, such programs will show only the following base style font names in the menu:
Trajan Pro 3
Trajan Pro 3 Black
Trajan Pro 3 Bold
Trajan Pro 3 ExtraLight
Trajan Pro 3 Light
Trajan Pro 3 Semibold
The other fonts in this family must be selected by choosing a menu name and then a style option following the guide below.
| Menu Name | plus Style Option... | selects this font | ||
| Trajan Pro 3 | Bold | Trajan Pro 3 Regular | ||
| Trajan Pro 3 Black | [none] | Trajan Pro 3 Black | ||
| Trajan Pro 3 Bold | [none] | Trajan Pro 3 Bold | ||
| Trajan Pro 3 ExtraLight | [none] | Trajan Pro 3 ExtraLight | ||
| Trajan Pro 3 Light | [none] | Trajan Pro 3 Light | ||
| Trajan Pro 3 Semibold | [none] | Trajan Pro 3 Semibold | ||
On the Mac OS operating system, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also select fonts by means of style links. Selecting a base style font and then using the style links (as described above for Windows applications) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many applications, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe PageMaker® software, although it is unnecessary with more sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator®, Photoshop® or InDesign® software.
One should not, however, select a base font which has no style-linked variant, and then use the bold or italic styling button. Doing so will either have no effect, or result in programmatic bolding or slanting of the base font, which will usually produce inferior screen and print results.
