NASHVILLE, March 28, 2017 /Christian Newswire/ -- Thomas Nelson is excited today to announce the release of over 40 newly designed KJV Bibles. With branded packaging, beautiful covers, and a custom, translation-specific font specifically designed to increase the comfort and clarity of the reading experience, the new line of Thomas Nelson KJV Bibles meets high standards of beauty, durability, and functionality. These KJV Bibles are the first to be released under the exclusive brand of Thomas Nelson Comfort Print® Bibles.
 
Continuing its legacy of King James Version stewardship since 1798, Thomas Nelson's latest editions are crafted for ultimate readability and serious Scripture study. Thanks to new, easy-to-read Comfort Print® Bibles, readers are invited to linger, engage, and deeply explore God's Word as their eyes flow smoothly along the lines of text.
 
"Whatever format or print size they choose, readers will find our new KJV Bibles, featuring the Thomas Nelson KJV Font, an absolute delight to read," says Daniel Marrs, associate publisher, Thomas Nelson Bible Group. "All our new text Bibles use custom, translation-specific fonts for increased beauty and readability. The Comfort Print® reading experience is matched by an exciting selection of cover designs, with durable, lay-flat bindings. These great new features are showcased by the updated packaging. And we're offering all of this at the same great prices."

The newly designed KJV Bibles feature the custom Thomas Nelson KJV Font, designed by 2K/DENMARK, a company renowned for their decades of experience in Bible typesetting and design. Their founder, Klaus Krogh, was inspired in his creation of the KJV font by the font used in one of the earliest Thomas Nelson Bibles from the 1840s, which he discovered in Edinburgh, Scotland. 2K/DENMARK's Bible typefaces "are designed to serve one purpose; to contain the message of the Word of God." (Learn more about 2K/DENMARK at www.2kdenmark.com.)
