Prelude is an original sans serif design of simple, generous letterforms which provide a clear, comfortable, and inviting experience for navigation and readability. A family of six fonts was developed for the Palm Pre. A related set of fonts, named Apres, which are tuned specifically for use in print and marketing, were also developed by Berlow and the Font Bureau. 2 L5 z& n8 ^. J1 X; |* I. s: o; y

When it came time to select typefaces for the Palm user interface, as well as the web and print branding, Black suggested developing custom solutions with Berlow, a long-time collaborator. 4 Z3 ~9 x/ @2 V( T% v6 ~+ [0 m: D+ ]

With David's unrivaled understanding of these standards, and Palm's dedication to a high quality solution, the Pre is able to deliver an obvious improvement in readability — as well as bringing a consistent and stylish visual experience to the user." + [" M+ A0 G. c6 z
