PT Sans Font Family

PT Sans Font was developed for the project “Public Types of Russian Federation.” The second household from the project, PT Serif, is also offered.

The fonts are released having a libre license and may be freely redistributed: The principle aim of the project is to give possibility to the people of Russia to study and write in their native languages.

The project is dedicated to the 300 year anniversary of the civil type invented by Peter the Wonderful in 1708-1710. It was offered economic help from the Russian Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications.

The fonts contain common Western, Central European and Cyrillic code pages, plus the characters of each title language in the Russian Federation. This tends to make them a one of a kind and essential tool for modern digital communications.

PT Sans is depending on Russian sans serif forms with the second part of the 20th century, but simultaneously has distinctive features of modern humanistic styles. The household consists of 8 designs: 4 standard types, 2 captions types for compact sizes, and two narrows styles for economic kind setting.
