There are many variants of Lucida, including serif (Fax, Bright), sans-serif (Sans, Sans Unicode, Grande, Sans Typewriter) and scripts (Blackletter, Calligraphy, Handwriting).
The family is intended to be extremely legible when printed at small size or displayed on a low-resolution display – hence the name, from 'lucid' (clear or easy to understand). Lucida (pronunciation: / ˈ l uː s ɪ d ə/ ) is an extended family of related typefaces designed by Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes and released from 1984 onwards.
