Linotype Textra™是对无衬线字体的一个巧妙转变，由Jochen Schuss和Jorg Herz在2002年设计。Schuss是这样说Linotype Textra的:二合一!同样是Linotype Textra，它对于长篇文章来说是如此的中性和实用，但当它用于较大的点尺寸时，就变成了一种引人注目的标题字体。细节决定一切。字体清晰、健壮的形式使其在较小的文本字号中具有很高的可读性。当使用在较大的尺寸，明显的有角，稍微不规则的形式，使字体强大的特点变得明显。所以才有了Linotype Textra这个名字: 具有15个字重的纯文本，为平面设计师提供了几乎任何字体工作的良好基础。这五个常规的字重有匹配的真正的斜体和老式的数字，而这五个小型的字重包括等宽数字。”

Linotype Textra™ is a clever twist on the sans serif genre, designed by Jochen Schuss and Jörg Herz in 2002. Schuss says this about Linotype Textra: Two in one! The same Linotype Textra, which is so neutral and practical for long text passages turns into an eye-catching headline type when used in larger point sizes. The trick? It's all in the details. The type's clear, robust forms give it a high degree of legibility when used in smaller point sizes for texts. When used in larger sizes, the angular, slightly irregular forms that give the type its strong character become apparent. Hence the name Linotype Textra: pure text with a little something extra!" With 15 weights, the Linotype Textra family provides graphic designers with a good basis for almost any type of work. The five regular weights have matching true italics and old style figures, and the five small cap weights include tabular figures."
