Typography and logography of Apple Computer covers Apple Computers history of typeface and logo design in marketing, operating systems, and industrial design.
In the late 1980s Apple developed TrueType, an outline font standard, amongst other technologies created later, including QuickDraw GX and Apple Advanced Typography. Apple controls several patents important to the implementation of high-quality typeface rendering on computers. In 1984 Apple created several new fonts for the Apple Macintosh computer. Apple has used three corporate fonts throughout its history including Motter Tektura, Apple Garamond and Adobe Myriad.
Apple Advanced Typography (AAT) is Apple Computer's computer software for advanced font rendering, supporting internationalization and complex features for typographers, a successor to Apple's little-used QuickDraw GX font technology of the mid-1990s.
It is a set of extensions to the TrueType outline font standard, with similar smartfont features to Adobe and Microsoft's OpenType font format, and the open source Graphite. It also incorporates concepts from Adobe's "multiple master" font format, allowing for axes of traits to be defined and morphing of a glyph independently along each of these axes. AAT font features do not alter the underlying typed text; they only affect the characters' representation during glyph conversion.
