==Derivatives== As with many commonly used fonts, knockoff designs and re-releases under different names have been released, some created by Zapf himself. These all tend to copy the original version, rather than the Optima nova design which represents Zapf's final thoughts on the design. In the [[Bitstream Inc.|Bitstream]] font collection, Zapf Humanist 601 is provided as an Optima clone. Other Optima clones include Optane from the WSI Fonts collection, Opulent by Rubicon Computer Labs Inc., Ottawa from [[Corel]], CG Omega and Eterna. Freely available implementations include URW Classico (available with URW Font package from [[Ghostscript]]). [[Linux Biolinum]] and [[Libertinus Sans]] are libre fonts inspired by it. Zapf's [[Palatino|Palatino Sans]] is a more informal typeface in the same style, with a design reminiscent of brushstrokes or calligraphy. Kontour Type designed the Utile Display typeface, inspired from the Optima typeface.<ref>{{cite web|title=Game, set, match: Utile aces all your type needs|url=https://kontour.typenetwork.com/news/article/game-set-match-utile-aces-all-your-type-needs|website=kontour.typenetwork.com|access-date=14 April 2020}}</ref>
