德国设计师Hans-Jurgen Ellenberger最初在1975年开发了Elementis的概念。为了创作一个更圆、更自然的打字机手写体，Elementis的设计诞生了。与打字机的根源一样，Linotype的Elementis比人们对这一类型的作品的期待更有个性。这些信件显示出一种令人愉快的古怪性质，这肯定会点亮任何文件。Elementis可以用于多种字号: 虽然字母在大的显示设置中效果最好，但也可以创建大小为12点或更小的短文本段落。

Elementis家族包含5种不同的字体: Light、 Regular、Medium、Bold 和小型大写字母。这个家族在各种竞赛中获得了许多奖项: Elementis在Linotype GmbH主办的2003年国际字体设计竞赛中获得了荣誉奖。此外，Ellenberger在2005年获得了Type Directors Club颁发的字体设计优秀证书;在一年一度的TDC2字体设计比赛中，Elementis被选为评委。

German designer Hans-Jürgen Ellenberger originally developed the concept behind Elementis in 1975. Wanting to create an alternative typewriter script that was more round and natural, Elementis' design was born. True to its typewriter roots, Linotype's Elementis exhibits more character than one expects from that genre. The letters display a delightfully quirky nature, which is sure to lighten up any document. Elementis may be used in a number of point sizes: although the letters function best in large display settings, short passages of text in sizes of 12 point or less may also be created.

The Elementis family contains five different typefaces: Elementis Light, Elementis Regular, Elementis Medium, Elementis Bold, and Elementis Small Caps. This family has received a number of awards in various contests: Elementis was awarded an Honorable Mention in the 2003 International Type Design Contest, sponsored by Linotype GmbH. Additionally, Ellenberger received a Certificate of Typographic Excellence from the Type Directors Club in 2005; during their annual TDC2 type design competition, Elementis was selected as a judge's choice.""
