 | The history of Palatino™ | Typophile
Palatino Sans and Palatino Sans Informal will be just as mixable and interchangeable, but aren’t part of the Palatino nova family in the simplest sense.
Michelangelo and Sistina were uniquely-designed members of the overarching Palatino family… they weren’t optical revisions for display printing… some of the letters differ radically in ways that don’t seem to bear a direct relation to size and legibility… they are meant to harmonize perfectly with Palatino text settings, but not be Palatino text (only larger).
Palatino nova Light is good for display purposes, as is Palatino nova Titling (which should be used big), and Palatino nova Imperial, which can be used big as well, but works great in smaller display sizes where Titling might come out too light.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 98.1.11
Palatino had been designed by Hermann Zapf for Linotype in the 1950's, and became the favorite system font on the Macintosh for its combination of elegantly varied strokes and a simplicity and uniformity that made it both decorative and easy to read on any printer (or screen).
But the italic version of the new Palatino Greek, whose letters are more uniform in slope, and whose characters are all somewhat lighter, with just the right slope for each, might actually be preferred by some Greek scholars for general use over the Roman (just as many now prefer the sloping Porson).
The new bold Palatino is admirably understated, but still recognizable for emphasis, as is the bold italic with its natural-looking spacing, and only a slightly heavier cursive style.
