Palatino's early digitisation intended for PostScript use is very widely used or cloned. Later Palatino digitisations have different features and spacing. In 1999, Zapf revised Palatino for Linotype and [[Microsoft]], called [[#Palatino Linotype|Palatino Linotype]]. The revised family incorporated extended [[Latin alphabet|Latin]], [[Greek alphabet|Greek]], and [[Cyrillic script|Cyrillic]] character sets. Linotype released a more complex redesign named Palatino Nova, together with digitisations of some of Zapf's other Renaissance-inspired designs and Aldus. Zapf also created a matching Palatino Sans and Palatino Sans Informal design in 2006.<ref name="Palatino Sans specimen">{{cite web|title=The New Palatino Sans: A supplement to Palatino Nova designed by Hermann Zapf|url=http://www.linotype.co.jp/linotype%20volumes/Palatino%20Sans%20Brochure.pdf|publisher=Linotype|access-date=26 March 2016}}</ref>

===Palatino Linotype===
Palatino Linotype is the version of the Palatino family included with modern versions of Microsoft software. It incorporates extended Latin, Greek, Cyrillic characters, as well as currency signs, subscripts and superscripts, and fractions. The family includes roman and italic in text and bold weights.

Palatino Linotype was notable as being the first western [[OpenType]] font that Microsoft shipped; Palatino Linotype was bundled with [[Windows 2000]]. The OpenType version showcased some (then new) alternate features, including [[Typographic ligature|ligatures]], true [[small caps]], [[Typeface#Typesetting numbers|proportional and tabular figures]], [[text figures]] and a variety of special alternate characters, such as the swash Capital Qu combination.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/fontblog/archive/2007/06/11/a-blast-from-type-past.aspx|title=A blast from type past!|publisher=Microsoft}}</ref> This marks it out from earlier digitisations such as the [[OS X]] system version, which do not include ligatures such as ''Th'' and ''Qu''. On release it was one of the few fonts to incorporate an [[interrobang]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/fontblog/archive/2005/12/22/interrobang-interrobang.aspx|title=MSDN Blogs|publisher=Microsoft}}</ref>

===Palatino Nova===
Palatino Nova is a redesigned version of Palatino, by Hermann Zapf and Akira Kobayashi. This Palatino Nova typeface family includes roman and italics in the light, text, medium, and bold weights, a new release of Aldus and versions of Michelangelo and Sistina under the name of "Palatino Titling" and "Palatino Imperial".<ref>[http://www.linotype.com/en/109932/palatinonova-family.html Palatino nova Font Family – by Hermann Zapf, Akira Kobayashi]{{Dead link|date=April 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref name="Still looking for refinements at 87">{{cite web|title=Still looking for refinements at 87|url=https://www.linotype.com/2630/zapf-birthday-celebration.html|website=Linotype|access-date=26 March 2016|archive-date=6 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160406110024/https://www.linotype.com/2630/zapf-birthday-celebration.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Palatino Nova Titling">{{cite web|title=Palatino Nova Titling|url=https://www.linotype.com/2567-18934/palatino-nova-titling.html|website=Linotype|access-date=26 March 2016|archive-date=6 April 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160406155941/https://www.linotype.com/2567-18934/palatino-nova-titling.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Palatino nova">{{cite web|title=Palatino nova|url=https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/palatino-nova/|website=MyFonts|publisher=Linotype|access-date=7 April 2016}}</ref>

===Palatino Sans===
Palatino Sans is a sans-serif design with stroke width modulation, resembling Zapf's classic design [[Optima]] but with a softer, more organic feel.<ref name="Palatino Sans Brochure">{{cite web|title=Palatino Sans Brochure|url=http://www.linotype.co.jp/linotype%20volumes/Palatino%20Sans%20Brochure.pdf|website=Linotype|access-date=15 June 2016}}</ref><ref name="Palatino Sans issuu">{{cite web|title=Palatino Sans|url=https://issuu.com/Linotype/docs/palatinosansbrochure|website=issuu|date=17 September 2012 |publisher=Linotype|access-date=17 May 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.linotype.com/en/2567-18935/preannouncementpalatinosanssansinformal.html|title=Linotype Platinum Collection – Linotype Palatino nova|access-date=2008-01-08|archive-date=2015-07-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150712091443/http://www.linotype.com/en/2567-18935/preannouncementpalatinosanssansinformal.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Unlike the serifed counterpart, the Sans families do not have full Greek or Cyrillic characters. Reviewing it for ''Typographica'' on release, font designer Hrant Papazian commented:<ref name="Palatino Sans review">{{cite web|last1=Papazian|first1=Hrant|title=Palatino Sans review|url=http://typographica.org/typeface-reviews/palatino-sans/|website=Typographica|access-date=27 March 2016}}</ref>
<blockquote>The confluence of competence, freedom and kiai... evident in Palatino Sans is breathtaking. The sober organicity, the bravado of the raised 'r', the confident flair of the italic; all done before, but never in such a usable, contemporary whole.</blockquote>

====Palatino Sans Informal====
Palatino Sans Informal incorporates informal characteristics to the Palatino Sans, such as asymmetrical A, K, N, W, X, Y, w.

===Palatino Arabic===
It is a family designed by Lebanese designer [[Nadine Chahine]] and Hermann Zapf. The design is based on the Al-Ahram typeface designed by Zapf in 1956 but reworked and modified to fit the Palatino Nova family. The design is [[Naskh (script)|Naskh]] in style but with a strong influence of [[Thuluth]] style.

This family only comes in 1 font, with the Latin characters based on Palatino Nova Regular. It supports basic Latin, Arabic, Persian, and Urdu scripts.<ref name="Palatino Arabic">{{cite web|title=Palatino Arabic|url=https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/palatino-arabic/|website=MyFonts|publisher=Linotype|access-date=7 April 2016}}</ref> Chahine also created a version of Zapf's [[Zapfino]].

===Palatino eText (2013)===
It is a family designed by Toshi Omagari of Monotype Imaging, optimised for on-screen use. It includes a larger x-height and wider spacing.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Devroye|first1=Luc|url=http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-26201.html|title=Hermann Zapf|website=Luc Devroye on Type Design|author-link=Luc Devroye}}</ref><ref name="Matteson">{{cite web|last1=Matteson|first1=Steve|author-link1=Steve Matteson|title=Type Q&A: Steve Matteson from Monotype|url=http://typecast.com/blog/type-qa-steve-matteson-from-monotype|website=Typecast|publisher=Monotype|access-date=27 March 2016|archive-date=22 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190222195701/http://typecast.com/blog/type-qa-steve-matteson-from-monotype|url-status=dead}}</ref> It is the standard four-font family, with bolds and italics.<ref name="Palatino eText MyFonts">{{cite web|title=Palatino eText|url=https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/palatino-etext/|website=MyFonts|publisher=Linotype|access-date=7 April 2016}}</ref>
