“We believe the Bible contains the very words of God, so we have an obligation and a commitment to make sure those words are presented in the best, most readable application that modern design and technology can provide,” says Melinda Bouma, associate publisher, Zondervan Bible Group.

Thomas Nelson (@NelsonBibles) and Zondervan teamed with the world’s foremost Bible type foundry, 2K/DENMARK (@2KDENMARK), to develop three proprietary typefaces for Thomas Nelson KJV (@ThomasNelsonKJV), Thomas Nelson NKJV (@NKJVbible), and Zondervan NIV (@NIVBible) Bibles. Each of these handcrafted typefaces is comprised of multiple fonts, drawing out the character of these special translations while simultaneously making Bible reading more comfortable and enjoyable. The first new Comfort Print® Bibles will release in March in the KJV translation.
