Linotype Syntax Serif是衬线字体，是Linotype Syntax（现被称为Syntax Next）的补充，这两者都是由瑞士字体设计师Hans Eduard Meier于2000年创作。通过这个新设计，Meier最终赋予为形状和结构赋予了无形的灵感，这些灵感在20世纪50年代给了他很多启发，当时他正基于人文主义或老式字母构思他的单线无衬线字体。Meier以其微妙的动态变化特征突显了这一通用文本家族的平静易读性，使其成为书籍和杂志中较长文本的理想之选。Linotype Syntax Serif有从Light到Black的六种字重及其匹配的斜体，还有小型大写字母和老式数字，总共30种字重。它可以与其他Syntax字体（Syntax Next和Linotype Syntax Letter）结合使用。

Linotype Syntax Serif is the serif typeface that complements Linotype Syntax today called Syntax Next, both created by Swiss type designer Hans Eduard Meier in 2000. With this new design, Meier has at last given shape and structure to the invisible muse that inspired him in the 1950s when he conceived his monoline sans serif based on humanist or Oldstyle letterforms. The calm legibility of this workhorse text family is accented by Meier's signature of subtle dynamic movement, making it ideal for longer texts in books and magazines. Linotype Syntax Serif has six weights from light to black, with matching italics, as well as small caps and old style figures, for a total of 30 weights. It combines harmoniously with the other Syntax typefaces, Syntax Next and Linotype Syntax Letter.
