[[File:Palatino & Aldus.png|thumb|right|Palatino and Aldus compared in digital versions. The differences are quite subtle.]]
'''Aldus''' is an old-style serif design, popular for use in book printing. Compared to Palatino, released some years earlier, it has a more condensed design lighter in [[Type color|colour]], more graceful and refined and better suited to the high average quality of book printing.<ref name="Lawson1990" /><ref name="AmbroseHarris2005">{{cite book|author1=Gavin Ambrose|author2=Paul Harris|title=Basics Design 03: Typography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iQdOoDr2b5cC&pg=PA160|date=1 June 2005|publisher=AVA Publishing|isbn=978-2-940373-35-2|page=160}}</ref> Aldus has a [[Kerning|non-kerning]] [[Roman type|roman]] and [[Italic type|italic]] ''f'', allowing the typographer to avoid [[Typographic ligature|ligatures]]. It appeared in the D. Stempel AG catalog in 1954 and Zapf used it to set his own ''Manuale Typographicum'', a history of letter design.<ref name="Fonts in Use Manuale Typographicum">{{cite web|last1=Purcell|first1=Chris|title=Manuale Typographicum by Hermann Zapf|url=http://fontsinuse.com/uses/9553/manuale-typographicum-by-hermann-zapf|website=Fonts in Use|date=6 June 2015 |access-date=4 September 2016}}</ref>

Aldus is named for the Venetian Renaissance printer [[Aldus Manutius]]. The decision annoyed Zapf (who preferred the name "Palatino Book") since it bears little direct resemblance to Aldus's typefaces.<ref name="Lawson1990" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.linotype.com/en/30/aldus-family.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130104003730/http://www.linotype.com/en/30/aldus-family.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-01-04|title=Aldus}}</ref>
