Its capital 'Y' is in the unusual 'palm Y' style, inspired by the Greek letter, a trait found in some of the earliest versions of the letter such as that of. Unlike most Renaissance typeface revivals, which tend to have delicate proportions such as a low (short lower-case letters and longer and ), Palatino has larger proportions, increasing legibility. Palatino was particularly intended as a design for trade or 'jobbing' use, such as headings, advertisements and display printing, and was created with a solid, wide structure and wide that could appear clearly on poor-quality paper, when read at a distance or printed at small sizes.

Palatino is one of several related typefaces by Zapf, which Stempel marketed as an 'extended family'. The group includes Palatino, Sistina, Michaelangelo Titling, and Aldus; Zapf's biographer Jerry Kelly describes them as forming 'the largest type family based on classic renaissance forms at the time.' These designs were strongly influenced Italian Renaissance letter forms and, although Zapf was unable to visit Italy until after he had finished the Palatino roman. Palatino rapidly became popular for book body text use, overshadowing the narrower and lighter Aldus, which Zapf had designed for this role. It has been described as one of the ten most used serif typefaces.

Since Palatino was not originally designed for body text, some of its characters were intended to stand out with quirky, calligraphic design features, and Zapf later redesigned them with more sober alternates, which have become the norm on most digital versions. Linotype licensed Palatino to Adobe and Apple who incorporated it into the digital printing technology as a standard font.

This guaranteed its importance in digital and and made it (or a variant of it) a preinstalled font on most computers. As with many popular fonts, knockoff designs and rereleases under different names are common. Zapf retained an interest in the design, and continued to collaborate on new versions into his eighties. Softmaker's digitisation of Palatino, Palazzo Original (right), shows some original features changed in the later digitisations endorsed by Zapf, including a more organic design and detail differences such as a different 'E', 'p', 'q' and 't'. Palatino itself, as previously noted, has a solid structure, intended to read clearly on poor-quality paper and printing; Zapf's friend Alexander Lawson wrote that 'the open counters that make Palatino such a legible letter were provided to overcome a then current printing problem in Germany, poor-quality paper. The weight of the type was also thickened beyond that of a normal roman in order to adapt to the lithographic and gravure printing processes of that period.Zapf has steadily maintained that he did not create Palatino as a book type but rather as a commercial face.' The italic swash capitals of Palatino from an American metal type specimen sheet.

Due to Palatino's increasing popularity in body text, however multiple versions have been released for the changing technologies of handsetting, hot metal typesetting, and digital font design. Later versions often have regularised details such as a lower 't' and foot serifs on 'p' and 'q'.

' Some releases of Palatino have had in italic. These have not been found in digitisations, although digitisations of Zapf's Renaissance Antiqua design (discussed below) do include a different set. In addition, later versions alter the descenders on many letters; Zapf originally had to keep these short to fit on the German standard, optimised for blackletter typefaces; later versions escape this restriction.

Aldus [ ] Linotype Aldus Old style Date created 1954 Trademark Linotype. 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, more graceful and refined and better suited to the high average quality of book printing.

Aldus has a and f, allowing the typographer to avoid. 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. Aldus is named for the Venetian Renaissance printer. The decision annoyed Zapf (who preferred the name 'Palatino Book') since it bears little direct resemblance to Aldus's typefaces. Like Palatino, an upgraded digitisation, Aldus nova, has been released by Linotype.
