Meanwhile, another French team developed the Alvan, a small computer for office automation which found clients in banks and other sectors. The first version was based on LSI chips with an Intel 8008 as peripheral controller (keyboard, monitor and printer), before adopting the Zilog Z80 as main processor.

Random-access memory became cheap enough to afford dedicating approximately 1–2 kilobytes of memory to a video display controller frame buffer, for a 40 × 25 or 80 × 25 text display or blocky color graphics on a common household television. This replaced the slow, complex, and expensive teletypewriter that was previously common as an interface to minicomputers and mainframes. All these improvements in cost and usability

Datei Grotesk emerged from an extensive exploration of sans serif typefaces that trace their origins back to the categorization of grotesques and neo-grotesques. The design process started in 2017, with the gradual development of the family contextualizing defining design features of legacy grotesque typefaces like Akzidenz, DIN 1451, Breite, Folio, Gerstner Programm, Haas Unica, Record Gothic, and Recta, among others. The design aims for a balanced approach to uniformity, featuring clear shapes, effortless readability, and a progressive system for both roman and italic styles. The final design strikes a balance between restraint with form qualities aiming to blend rationality with friendliness. The slight straight-sided letter forms give the type a subtle industrial flair, creating robust textures without appearing too rigid. Datei Grotesk’s uniform, no-nonsense features foster visual impact while maintaining flexibility and coherence in form. The family is offered in variable gamuts for roman and italic and a static font style-range that recalls legacy grotesque family structures. Open Type feature sets include support for alternate character options, figures for text and tables, dynamic fractions, case sensitive forms, and expanded language capabilities, among more, making the type family suitable for contemporary and versatile design applications.
