paratype-pt-sans-fonts - A pan-Cyrillic typeface
- Description:
The PT Sans family was developed as part of the “Public Types of
Russian Federation” project. This project aims at enabling the
peoples of Russia to read and write their native languages, using
free/libre fonts. It is dedicated to the 300-year anniversary of the
Russian civil type invented by Peter the Great from 1708 to 1710, and
was realized with financial support from the Russian Federal Agency
for Press and Mass Communications.
The fonts include support for all 54 title¹ languages of the Russian
Federation as well as more common Western, Central European and
Cyrillic blocks making them unique and a very important tool for
modern digital communications.
PT Sans is a grotesque font based on Russian type designs of the
second part of the 20th century. However, it also includes very
distinctive features of modern humanistic design, fulfilling present
day aesthetic and functional requirements.
It was designed by Alexandra Korolkova, Olga Umpeleva and Vladimir
Yefimov and released by ParaType.
¹ A “title” language is named after an ethnic group.
This package includes the four basic styles and two narrows styles for
economic setting.
