The person who created this type face was Hermann Zapf. He was a German typeface designer who designed Optima between 1952-1955. The type face is based off of his thought of creating a classic roman with no serifs. Since it was released other fonts have been made that look similar to Optima so In 2002 Optima Nova was created with more font families.
