Eq­uity is one of the fonts avail­able for body text in this book. (Click on the font-se­lec­tion tool­bar at the bot­tom of the page to try it.) Eq­uity was orig­i­nally de­signed for le­gal writ­ers, but any pro­fes­sional writer can ben­e­fit from its many conveniences:

1. Eq­uity fits as much text on the page as Times New Ro­man, and stays leg­i­ble down to small point sizes.

2. Eq­uity has been de­signed to per­form well on both high-end out­put de­vices and of­fice print­ers. Each style in the fam­ily comes in two weight grades so you can pick the grade that looks just right on your printer—a fea­ture found in very few fonts.

3. Eq­uity comes with a sep­a­rate set of caps fonts, which con­tain real small caps and al­ready in­clude my rec­om­mended let­terspac­ing.

4. Build your own font bun­dle: your Eq­uity or­der will in­clude a dis­count code to get ad­di­tional fam­i­lies for $79 in­stead of $119 (1–2 per­son li­cense only). You can also up­grade any­time to the full MB Type Li­brary for the dif­fer­ence in price.

5. Eq­uity has a short, plain-Eng­lish font li­cense that in­cludes per­mis­sion to use it in PDFs, web­sites, apps, and elec­tronic books. It is a one-time pay­ment, not a sub­scrip­tion.
6. Each li­cense cov­ers mul­ti­ple peo­ple, but only within a sin­gle or­ga­ni­za­tion or fam­ily. A li­cense can­not be split among friends or ran­dom strangers. De­tails here.
7. Eq­uity has no demo ver­sion, but I of­fer a 30-day re­turn op­tion: if the fonts aren’t your style, you can can­cel your li­cense for a refund.
